Absolution Lyrics


Prowling the streets in broad daylight

Looking for poverty, searching for a fight

Forcing their will upon the poor

Blue lights cascade as they smash down your door

Driving a wedge between the people and the state

Nothing can repair the rift that they create

Targeting those who cannot defend themselves

Time and time again, they abuse our trust

So sound the sirens and lock all the doors

This is not a show of protective force

Riot shields reflect the fires of revolution

Don't settle for anything but absolution

A crooked smile and a fucking knife in your back

Law enforcement is on the attack

Obeying commands of your tainted king

Stomping on the embers, intent on smothering

They wanna silence us all

They wanna silence us all

A protest provoked is an attack on hope

These bastards search for an excuse

To apply brute force their favourite way to enforce

Their toxic oppressive regime

So sound the sirens and lock all the doors

This is not a show of protective force

Riot shields reflect the fires of revolution

Don't settle for anything but absolution

A crooked smile and a fucking knife in your back

Law enforcement is on the attack

Obeying commands of your tainted king

Stomping on the embers, intent on smothering

They wanna silence us all

They wanna silence us all

Never stop, never rest

Put those bastards to the test

Never stop, never rest

We will not act at their behest

Never stop, never rest

Put those bastards to the test

Never stop, never rest

We will not act at their behest
