lyrics

Our town was better then
before the fires ripped through the northern borders
Not a soul was spared
The earth was darker then
The earth was ours before the arsonists came down
on all of this
The world was kinder then
and death was quiet before the lights went out
in the fifth and sixth districts

They don't care for quiet executions anymore
All fire-bombs and bricks,
The Retributionists

I was better then
when I was young I'd succumb to their demands
with a crippling respect
I was kinder then
Now the young runts have turned against the bitch
that spawned each and every one of them

They don't care for quiet executions anymore
All fire-bombs and bricks
The Retributionists
They don't care for order
They don't care to keep the peace
All fire-bombs and bricks,
The Retributionists
