The traffic rolls by, the driver knows by, the sound of the horn

The day just rolls by, Im takin tolls by, the lonely side aisle

The last victim, turned to a pogrom, by a set of rules

The last kingdom, a lonely fiefdom, an enigmatic smile

The first victim of a war is truth


And Im losin sleep by just tryin to keep my head afloat

The last pilgrim, the first kingdom, on a crystal night

Higher and higher and higher we build

Well stop when all the holes been filled

The first victim of a war is truth


Dont you worry about yourselves

Lay the blame on someone else

Dont you ever look too high

But at the level of your eye


A rollin tank yea, an empty bank yea, neon lights and colored signs

Yellow bulldozer, a roller coaster, of broken dreams and shattered pines

Fatherless children, an Armageddon, of childrens hopes and dreams

And our leader, torn to pieces, tell me could you do better than him?

The first victim of a war is truth
