Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Look into my holy eyes
An empty smile and you're hypnotized
Selling lies my enterprise
The sheep just get in line
Capitulate so easily
The power of fear that I'm trafficking
Years of sleep have left you blind
I made the bed you're in
[Verse 2]
As I lead the child to war again
Heaven lives in every gun
I damn you
[Verse 3]
I'm alive to be the demon
I'm alive to be the one
Yeah
Hell, it lives in everyone
[Verse 4]
When your world has slipped away
And all you have is me to pay
Once so proud, you beg for more
And spread your legs like some dirty whore
[Verse 5]
As I lead the child to war again
Heaven lives in every gun
I damn you
[Verse 6]
I'm alive to be the demon
I'm alive to be the one
Yeah
Hell, it lives in everyone
[Verse 7]
I'm alive to be the demon
I'm alive to be the one
Yeah
Hell, it lives
[Verse 8]
I'm invited
I'm invited
One nation under
One nation under me
[Verse 9]
As I lead the child to war again
As I lead the child to war again
As I lead the child to war
Heaven lives, lives in every gun
[Verse 10]
I'm alive to be the demon
I'm alive to be the one
Yeah
Hell, it lives in everyone
[Verse 11]
I'm alive to be the demon
I'm alive to be the one
Yeah
Hell, it lives in everyone
[Verse 12]
I'm alive to be the demon
I'm alive to be the one
Yeah
Hell, it lives in everyone
