The result of way too much correspondence to quote here.
Requested by confusion.

lyrics

you were a servant
you were a loyal servant
but something changed you
and we estranged you

you grew accustomed
to your fist of iron
you were addicted
we were evicted

as we continue to be terrified
and unsatisfied
you
you turn your back on what you start
to tear us apart

you once were innocent and once were mild
you once were a child
but
but all you're good for now is war
and nothing more

tear it down and then rebuild
your power still is unfulfilled
every time more blood is spilled
and evil is distilled

----

as we continue to be terrified
and unsatisfied
you
you turn your back on what you start
to tear us apart

these but the lighter details of one's fate
in the hands of an immature state
bestowed with the power to officiously slate
destruction, corruption, perversion and hate

it is unfair
but you don't care

you once were innocent and once were mild
you once were a child
but
but all you're good for now is war
and nothing more
