Dogwood Album: Reverse, Then Forward Again Track: Instigator
Instigator Lyrics
(the lines marked with * are the ones I'm unsure of.)
In misery I can see, the bodies surrounding me We slowly sterilize the treasures that we came to set free Bolts in the the sky are the coming of death The children scream as their families (are) Put to rest by the bullets spray
I look around and I find That there's no reason for this How would pride give an offer that we can't resist * Its not our job to protect The world is suffocating An instigator, is concentratng
Where is the honor in the killing of an innocent son I am a patriot alone with a helmet and gun Its all inside, murder, without regard or regret I am the slayer of the people whom I never have met
I look around and I find That there's no reason for this How would pride give an offer that we can't resist * Its not our job to protect The world is suffocating And instigator, is operating
Now we lose control, I want to go it again I cannot forget the bloody mess that I made Its not my job to correct, I wonder has this claimed me The instigator, is violating
(we're all) Fear will take us all to the unknown Forced to process all my thoughts blindly My words will fall on deaf ears again (no the won't accept it) Secrecy will keep me sworn to death
I try, pretend, I can't forget I close my eyes, I die inside These scars, they stay Don't go away We killed the worst of the best And we let God sort the rest I try, pretend, I will forget I close my eyes, I die inside These scars, they stay Don't go away The instigator Was made an enemy of me of me today
