Behind the gate, behind the facade
Behind the guards, behind all the doors
Lies a place beyond all belief
Stuck in the past with a deadly task
At first it seemed removed from all greed
Slowly it dawned, it was just rearranged
Pretend that it's noble, that it's academic
Hide your games from all scrutiny
Lies from the start and lies to the end
Not as harmless as it was said
Flooding the waves in a heavy arms race
Show no mercy to what's in your way
Get sucked in and caught in the wake
Run with the gun and stop asking why
Nothing is spoken and silence is golden
Thoughts might be the most dangerous of all
Nobody wants to hear them aloud
You've seen much more than you ever asked for
No freedom to move, no freedom to talk
Trapped in this room all day, dreaming of escape
What all was hidden inside of those walls
Where did the money come and where did it go
The fraud and the waste and the speculation
What of the souls who dug themselves in
Reserved and resigned and optimistic
Trying to think while under pressure
Keeping the peace by clearing it out
Looking ahead but never around
