The twin towers collapse, a glimpse of apocalypse
Thirty seconds and the face of the world has changed

Scorched earth policy applied on US ground
Achilles' heel touched irremediably
And the giant chokes in the ashes of his dreams

Security increased and paranoia swells
Vengeance sharpened its claws
We need a scapegoat, a scarecrow, a symbol

A symbol of hate and its horrid sequels
A scarecrow to incarnate our secret nightmare
A scapegoat to charge and judge without appeal

But there's a but, eye for an eye is a law
That makes the world blind
There's an enemy and a victim
But the victim soon becomes the enemy

Wages the war and who pulls the strings
Hidden murderers, suit and tie criminals
Wages the war and who pulls the strings
Don't be fooled by their weapons of mass distraction

Don't misunderstand our critic of the conflict
We stand for nuance, doubt and judgment
Our point of view, there's no good and evil in such a war
No one way terrorism, no heroic excuse for murder

The circumstances were perfect
For the capitalistic untouchables
To instigate a new war order

To implant monster corporations in hostile lands
To pump the black gold
Right from the veins of the Middle East

Shock wave at the heart of dissidence
Innocent civilians in the eye of the storm
Western reprisals take aim at the wrong target

The besieged crave to prove their firepower
To an invader of this stature
The jihad seems a suitable response

But there's a but, eye for an eye is a law
That makes the world blind
There's an enemy and a victim
But the victim soon becomes the enemy

Wages the war and who pulls the strings
Hidden murderers, suit and tie criminals
Who wages the war and who pulls the strings
Don't be fooled by their weapons of mass distraction

Wages the war and who pulls the strings
Hidden murderers, suit and tie criminals
Wages the war and who pulls the strings
Don't be fooled by their weapons of mass distraction

The twin towers collapse, a glimpse of apocalypse
Thirty seconds and the face of the world has changed
