Shots Fired
Stray From the Path Lyrics

Fired, shots fired
Alert, there is an ongoing attack

Machine gun song ringing all night long
The violent and intense nature of the situation is continuing non-stop

Born and raised
From the moment of birth, they were conditioned to accept this reality

To be placed in a system with such rage
They were destined to enter a system characterized by intense anger and hostility

(We want you) Serving up cocktails of bullets and bombshells
They are being forced to participate in delivering destructive and deadly weapons

Don't ask and they won't tell
If they don't question orders, their superiors won't disclose the true nature of their actions

(We want you) Soldiers with missions, you better read your positions
They are expected to understand and follow their assigned roles as soldiers

And turn the village to victims
Their objective is to cause harm and suffering to innocent civilians

(We want you) You wanted to be sent overseas
They desired to be deployed to another country

To watch the people suffer on their knees
Their intention was to witness the agony and helplessness of the local population

Yeah we'll cover it up in a terrorist way
The true nature of their actions will be disguised as acts of terrorism

Yeah we'll cover it up in a terrorist name
Their activities will be labeled with a terrorist identity to conceal their true motives

Made into slaves that get paid
They have become pawns who receive compensation

To clean house and throw grenades
Their role is to eliminate threats and cause destruction

(We want you) Burning our bridges with every foreign religion
They are actively causing divisions and conflicts with different religious groups

Based off of business decisions
These actions are motivated by profit-driven choices

(We want you) No weight on the shoulders of mechanical soldiers
The burden of responsibility is absent from these soldiers, who instead operate as emotionless machines

You believed what they told ya
They have fallen for the propaganda and lies fed to them

There's no glory in your war story
Engaging in warfare does not lead to honor or pride

Fired, shots fired
Alert, the attack is ongoing

Machine gun song ringing all night long
The relentless violence and chaos continue unabated throughout the night
