threshold - defence condition lyrics

[spoken word intro]
“this is ??? our ??? system, alert status, ??? , condition, ???, additional updates, ??? situation for us, updates ??? high alert ???”

[verse 1]
i don’t fall for theories
designed to change your views
created to fool you, by people that rule you
if only to hide the truth

i don’t fall for speeches
produced behind the lines
by someone who’s woven, some banners and slogans
to conquer your hearts and minds
[pre+chorus 1]
one life, one try
it’s enough to keep on breathing
one fight, one side
but tell me who to trust
tell me who to trust

[chorus]
lost in a world where nothing’s real
learning to trust in what i feel
getting worn down by this war of attrition
this is my defence condition

want to be heard but i’ve got no voice
watched and observed but i’ve got no choice
twenty+four seven ‘cos i gave my permission
this is my defence condition

[verse 2]
i don’t fall for penance
i don’t think god’s to blame
and if he is there then i don’t think he’d care for
us doing it in his name

and it can’t be random
it’s all too neatly done
you don’t make a heart grow until there’s a blood flow
so where was it flowing from
[pre+chorus 2]
one truth, one proof
just enough to keep believing
one voice, one choice
but tell me who to trust
tell me who to trust

[chorus]
lost in a world where nothing’s real
learning to trust in what i feel
getting worn down by this war of attrition
this is my defence condition

want to be heard but i’ve got no voice
watched and observed but i’ve got no choice
twenty+four seven ‘cos i gave my permission
this is my defence condition

[refrain]
i don’t fall for theories
i don’t fall for theories

[verse 3]
power corrupts and meaning dies
bend the truth with little white lies
no one wants to be exposed
so words are purged and cases closed
power corrupts and lines are crossed
wars are won but nothing is lost
every virtue bites the dust
so how do you know who to trust

sometimes life is a battle
there is no turning back
and justice can be slow to dispatch so
lock all your windows and batten your hatches

sometimes lies are effective
no one sees them attack
but propaganda shows their offence so
cover your eyes now and raise your defences

[spoken word]
“defcon 2 and the threat is true”
“defcon 1 and the damage is done”
“defcon 2 and the threat is true”
“defcon 1 and the damage is done”

[guitar solo]

[bridge]
these hollow days
my thoughts remain unseen
the world cannot be altered
by a billboard or a meme

no one proclaims
their imaginary views
unless they’re all the same
as the imaginary news

[verse 3]
power corrupts and meaning dies
bend the truth with little white lies
no one wants to be exposed
so words are purged and cases closed

power corrupts and lines are crossed
wars are won but nothing is lost
every virtue bites the dust
so how do you know who to trust

[guitar solo]

sometimes life is a battle
there is no turning back
and justice can be slow to dispatch so
lock all your windows and batten your hatches

sometimes lies are effective
no one sees them attack
but propaganda shows their offence so
cover your eyes now and raise your defences

[pre+chorus 1]
one life, one try
it’s enough to keep on breathing
one fight, one side
but tell me who to trust
tell me who to trust

[chorus]
lost in a world where nothing’s real
learning to trust in what i feel
getting worn down by this war of attrition
this is my defence condition

want to be heard but i’ve got no voice
watched and observed but i’ve got no choice
twenty+four seven ‘cos i gave my permission
this is my defence condition

[post+chorus]
defcon 2 and the threat is true
this is my defence condition
defcon 1 and the damage is done
this is my defence condition
defcon 2 and the threat is true
this is my defence condition
defcon 1 and the damage is done
this is my defence condition

[spoken word]

[outro]
what you going to do when the meaning goes
you’re lying like thieves and you’re not going to change me
what you going to do when the feeling grows
we’re falling like leaves but you’re not going to change me
what you going to do when the demon knows
you’re lying like thieves and you’re not going to change me
what you going to do when the healing flows
we’re falling like leaves but you’re not going to change me
you are not god and you’re never going to save me

what you going to do when the meaning goes
you’re lying like thieves and you’re not going to change me
what you going to do when the feeling grows
we’re falling like leaves but you’re not going to change me
what you going to do when the demon knows
you’re lying like thieves and you’re not going to change me
what you going to do when the healing flows
we’re falling like leaves but you’re not going to change me
you are not god and you’re never going to save me
