lyrics

the page has turned
another day has died
there's nothing left to hide
we see through the lies
with every reason to indict
they let you walk for another try
one day the hammer will strike
and expose your lies
betrayed the country you love
you stabbed your own in the back
there's no security threat
there's no cyberactive terror attack
you see the danger is you
and we are the victims too
you're the security threat
you crossed the line
now there's a knife in my back
the book has closed
but you did no time
with everything to hide
you got through it fine
with every reason to apologize
you doubled down with your eyes on the prize
one day your children will cry
and you'll know just why
betrayed the country you love
you stabbed your own in the back
there's no security threat
there's no cyberactive terror attack
you see the danger is you
and we are the victims too
you're the security threat
you crossed the line
now there's a knife in my back
you know the score
you know the outcome, you've seen it before
it's not enough to explore
bowing out of this
you're going down with the ship
the one you built and then crashed into bits
one day the steel will split
and you'll sharpen it
