[length: 04:33]
[00:16.04]This is breaking news
[00:17.57]It appears that Air Force One was shot down
[00:20.26]Somewhere over the Middle East this morning
[00:21.85]By a sleeper cell of rogue terrorists, firing a Stinger Missile
[00:25.41]The pilot and all passengers are unaccounted for
[00:28.56]The President’s whereabouts are presently unknown
[00:30.61]And he is presumed missing
[00:32.28]The Vice President, Secretary of State
[00:34.03]And principles of the military are assembling
[00:36.58]Our nation stands at DEFCON 3
[00:40.22]The greatest crisis, will someone come for me?
[00:42.84]I, red, white and blew it
[00:45.33]Unleashed revenge, my body is detained
[00:48.41]How could anybody do this?
[00:50.67]Betrayal, I peel away the days
[00:52.77]Medals are useless, Uncle Sam’s forgotten me
[00:55.76]I’m not important no one will ever come
[00:58.32]I’ll never be found, God get me out of this hell
[01:01.77]Nuclear battlefields energized
[01:07.03]Cold wars are heating up again
[01:13.29]The tensions mounting
[01:16.74]People lift up your fists in revenge
[01:28.63]The stage is set
[01:31.38]Who will be the first to blink?
[01:34.10]We can’t go to war
[01:36.70]Remember that Vietnam thing
[01:39.92]Peace at any price
[01:42.33]With a gun to your head, bang, bang
[01:45.12]Weakness runs in your family
[01:47.61]What runs in mine is death
[01:50.87]
[02:01.50]This is your five-minute warning
[02:04.76]Burn all your classified documents
[02:07.66]And if cooler heads don’t prevail
[02:10.45]First strike from a political dead man
[02:14.27]
[02:23.11]Appeasement only makes the aggressor more aggressive
[02:26.08]He understands only one language, action
[02:28.62]And he respects only one word, force
[02:31.02]No sign of them stopping, no time for back channel communiqués
[02:35.15]We need all the help we can get, air strikes and invasions
[02:38.85]Retaliate, I say
[02:40.42]The will of good men can not counter the terrible strain of war
[02:45.20]
[03:30.75]Blackmail the universe with the greatest of calamities
[03:36.29]Awaken those sleeping giants in the dust of the ground
[03:41.43]With their skin destroyed, unjust to innocence
[03:47.27]Lawful possessor of the worlds last 24 hours
[03:52.67]
[04:02.06]Terror and ugliness reveal what death really means
[04:07.40]And in hatred, you see men as they really are
[04:12.93]If chosen over heaven, earth will have been for them
[04:18.46]All along, only another region of hell
