Mindless
Trust Lyrics

In the distance I see a cluster of flags
The singer sees a group of symbols from far away that represents power.

While all around me they're gunning down your kids
In the present moment, people are being ruthlessly attacked in the singer's surroundings.

Far away I see the flags begin to fall
From a distance, the singer sees the symbols of power losing their significance.

And I feel the hammers but the sickles not at all
The artist is aware of a looming danger, but not the extent of it yet.

Mindless beasts searching for a victim
The attackers are senselessly and brutally attacking the people around them.

Can't recognize the uniform
The attackers don't care who they are attacking; they don't differentiate based on appearance or identity.

Bringing back vague memories
The violence and fear that the singer is witnessing is reminiscent of past traumas.

A once-proud people forced to flee
The victims that the attackers are targeting have been dislodged from their homes and are now seeking refuge.

Czechoslovaques betrayed too
The artist references a specific instance where the people of Czechoslovakia were betrayed and targeted for attack.

Turned to the west there is nothing new
The victims are looking for help from outside sources, but they have been let down before.

Already death is knocking on your door
The attackers have already arrived and the situation is dire.

Their tanks will make your blood run cold, run cold
The attackers are using powerful weapons that will likely cause great harm and fear.

Far away I see masses of flags
The singer sees many symbols of power in the distance.

And around me kids spilling out their guts
The singer is surrounded by victims who have been gravely injured or killed.

Far away the flags go up in flames
Those symbols of power that the singer saw earlier are being destroyed.

Your women flee the cities screaming in pain, in pain, in flames, in flames
Women are desperately trying to save their lives amidst the chaos and destruction.

So face them care-free while staying aware
The artist encourages not letting fear overtake them while still being attentive to the danger at hand.

Invite them in to eat, to drink and be amused
The singer suggests welcoming the attackers to lower their guard and gain an advantage over them.

At the table they remember stifled cries
The attackers will be reminded of the victims they've silenced while they are eating.

Talking of the power of death and all their other lies
The attackers will inadvertently reveal their sinister motives and tactics through their conversations.

They're only coming for their satisfaction
The attackers are only attacking to satisfy their own cruel desires.

To have you on your knees turning your cheek
The attackers want to dominate and humiliate the victims.

The cruel savages, you'll spit in their face
The victims will overcome the attackers and reject their cruelty.

Hold them well within' your sights, aim and never flinch
The victims are fully prepared to confront the attackers and willing to defend themselves and their families.

Make it so their flags will never wave again
The victims will permanently destroy the symbols of power the attackers hold dear.

And families can prosper without pain
The victims will finally be able to live without fear of attack.

So your children can run and laugh and play
The future generations of victims will live without the trauma of past attacks.

The hammer's weight, the sickle's shadow far away
The threat of the attackers is now distant and no longer holds power over the victims.

Mindless, mindless, mindless, mindless
The attackers are truly senseless and brutal.
