Scorched Earth Policy Lyrics

You've always tended to hate the ones
Who tell you the truth you don't want to hear
It's easy to pass a quick judgment
On the ones that do not have a share in your fears

Are you afraid of reality?
It's the only thing that can set you free
Are you afraid of freedom
From the bounds that set your direction

Seeing yourself from the outside
Can be a shocking, unpleasant sight
When the picture is not distorted by
The excuses of your cheating mind

You fell when vanity
Took the place of sanity
You'll never be able to stand again
Until you dare to face the fear within

Your scorched earth policy
Shocks and scars the heart in me
Lookin' ‘round among the victims
Of your vile, merciless schemes

Never forget to remember
Who you were and what you've become
Always keep in mind
What you learnt and what it cost

Live for the ones
Who need you the most
Die to yourself
Don't refuse to pay the cost

You fell when vanity
Took the place of sanity
You'll never be able to stand again
Until you dare to face the fear within
