Serj Tankian

Do we let you know
When we let you go
We are far from center
Center of light
We are here to stay

We know how you have died
We ve seen how you have lied
We are far from love but silence is golden
Please observe

Fighting your empire
Defending your vampires
Far away, we re going too far
Bombing your ignorance
Defeating your insolence
Far away, we re going too far
We re going too far

If today I die
And cannot deny
The life that I live for what I say,
Now befit myself in time.
No time to die or kill,
No structures of a pyramid.
No trained horses to arise.
Surmise my position,
My words define.

Fighting your empire
Defending your vampires
Far away, we re going too far
Bombing your ignorance
Defeating your insolence
Far away, we re going too far
We re going too far

It s true Beatrice did find a toaster walking by itself in a step of electrical confusion
The twerp next door raises hell for laucnching ground to air missiles at noisy useless helicopters
Vehicular coolants resemble a schnancy drink that bubbled over ? and delight

We go forward
We go backward
Living, dying, we re dying, we re living
We re living, we re dying, we re crying, we re seeing
We re living, we re breathing, dying, seeing

Fighting your empire
Defending your vampires
Far away, we re going too far
Bombing your ignorance
Defeating your insolence
Far away, we re going too far
We re going too far
