"Strike From The Sky" lyrics

The eagle's talons reaching out
Its grip is worldwide
Across land and sea, there's nowhere to hide
We don't call it an empire, cause that doesn't feel right
But the forces are deployed on Earth's other side

It's just who we are
Don't question why
Another day goes by, a strike from the sky

Strike
Strike, strike, strike

The flag of the free, the brave and the just
To keep the world safe
But who keeps it safe from us?
Rain down the wrath and ruin
Just as all empires do
What sorrow to the many
What glory to the few

It's just how it is
Don't think about why
Another day goes by, a strike from the sky
The orders are made
The jets soar on high
Someone becomes a crater on Earth's other side

Death from above, descend from the clouds
Strike from the sky
Call the thunder, let God sort 'em out
Strike from the sky
Strike, strike, strike
Strike from the sky
Strike, strike, strike
Strike from the sky

It's just who we are
Don't question why
Another year goes by, a strike from the sky
I know I'm complicit
In each of these crimes
I sit here doing nothing while others die

Strike

Strike!
