Theme
The epic title track is a political conspiracy narrative centered on the perceived threat of a **'New World Order'** and the erosion of civil liberties. The song opens and closes with controversial audio clips discussing a bill that would allow for mandatory, unreviewable detention, symbolizing the final, controlling move—the **'Endgame'**—in a global takeover that promises tyranny and the ultimate cost of freedom.
Lyrics
(Attention! Attention!)
(All citizens are ordered to report to their district detention centers!)
(Do not return to your homes, do not contact anyone!)
(Do not use any cellular or GPS devices!)
(Surrender all weapons at once!)
(Attention!)
(This way to the camps!)
I woke up in a **black FEMA box**
Darkness was all around me
(In my coffin!)
My dreams are all **nightmares** anymore
And this is what I dream every night
The Leader of the **New World Order**
The President of the United States
Has declared anyone now residing
Inside the US of A
Without the **RFID chip**
You're just an **illegal alien**
An **enemy combatant** of America
Welcome to the **New World Order!**
This is the **end of the road**
This is the **end of the line**
This is the **end of your life**
This is the
A society in a society
Inside the fence life as you know it stops
They got their rules of conduct
And we got ours
**Be quick or be dead**
You crumble up and die
The clock is ticking so slowly
And so much can happen in an hour
This is the **end of the road**
This is the **end of the line**
This is the **end of your life**
This is the **endgame**
I learned my lessons the hard way
Every **scar** I earned I had to bleed
Inside the **day yard**
A system of **controlled movement**
Like a giant **ant farm**
Any time is long time
Now you're not in charge of your time anymore
This is the **end of the road**
This is the **end of the line**
This is the **end of your life**
This is the end
The **Ex-President signed a secret bill**
That can land a legal US Citizen in jail
And the **patriot act stripped away our constitutional rights**
They say a **concentration camp** just popped up
Yeah, right!
**Refuse the chip? Ha!**
Get persecute and beat
By the **tyranny of mind control**
For the **mark of the beast**
All rights removed, you're punished
Captured, and enslaved
Believe me when I say
This is the **endgame**
