Shadows in the Sight

[Verse 1] The heat was heavy on the pine. We left the broken world behind. But underneath the summer glare. A stranger's eyes were waiting there. We thought the distance made us free. To disappear entirely. But they were hiding in the green. To break the silence of the scene! [Verse 2] They put the ruler to the steel. To break the bond, to break the seal. A fraction lost, a fraction found. To bring the hammer to the ground! The world outside is burning bright. To set the mountain top alight! To turn a sanctuary... Into a frontier! [Chorus] THEY CHANGED THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT! Within the fading light! "If you see a shadow moving... Put it in the sight!" No mercy for the mother! No mercy for the son! Just a government of gears! Behind a gun! Behind a gun! [Verse 3] The panic started in the weeds. A warrant signed for dirty deeds. A sudden crack against the chill. Permission granted for the kill! The rain began to wash the stone. But we are dying here alone. There was no place left for running! There was no place left to hide! [Chorus] THEY CHANGED THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT! Within the fading light! "If you see a shadow moving... Put it in the sight!" No mercy for the mother! No mercy for the son! Just a government of gears! Behind a gun! Behind a gun! [Bridge] The glass didn't shatter. Before the life was gone. They fired through the darkness. And waited for the dawn. THEY WAITED FOR THE DAWN! [Chorus] THEY CHANGED THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT! Within the fading light! "If you see a shadow moving... Put it in the sight!" No mercy for the mother! No mercy for the son! Just a government of gears! Behind a gun! [Outro] The snow on the timber. The glass on the floor. And nobody answers. Not now, anymore. The wind is just blowing... Through the open door!
