Whole cities are burning
You’re watching the live stream
Beheaded children
Are the news of the day
Leave a comment and it goes as it’s planned
You’re consuming the
Terrorism brand
Thousands are dying in the desert sand
Does it seem like a game to you?
Or marching forward to the Promised Land
Rattle the locks
Dozens got killed in the local fair
It’s a real threat, isn’t it?
Send a crying face to show them you care
Resume the game
We created this enemy/ We feed on their agony/ We created this enemy/ We armed them
„The visual theater of terrorism aestheticizes politics, celebrates a sacralization of politics as war, and stylizes raw violence as it is integrated into audio-visual spectacles that shock and massage the mind and emotions with the theatricality of power and a steady regimen of fear, extreme violence and the drum beat of a hyper-charged masculinity.”
We assigned a war zone to the land they call home
We sent the drones brought the bombs and left devastation
They brutally killed their own while we got the oil
I don’t think they need this kind of civilization
We call it freedom they say it is exploitation
The truth remains inscrutable under the soil
If they use our tools to fight their war
They depend on the same system they want to put down and destroy
We created this enemy/ We feed on their agony/ We created this enemy/ We armed them
Wholesale slaughter captured
From the perfect angle
Or as they mined under
the Palmyra temple
