Soft Targets Make Softer Graves Lyrics - Protest The Hero

Now's the time to take all your rage and your 

frustration and focus it in a positive way. 

It's time to fight but only for the democracy 

that has been ripped from beneath our feet. Is 

it ridiculous to believe that killing the 

innocent is murder? but it is to believe that 

nothing can be done. These people are not 

machines, they're living they're breathing 

they're dying they're human beings who cry 

"please don't kill me" in the same trembling 

frequency we do. Propaganda screams "have you 

forgotten?" in six minute intervals so loud 

that you can't escape them, but now I'll ask 

have you forgotten? about the young men in 

boxes, about the choking in the field, about a 

treaty (of a palace in the swamp) that was set to 

end it all? It's safe to say I'll never forget 

the day i first heard your voice, laced with 

undertones of hate and vengeance. I suppose all 

that matters is dulce et decorum est Pro patria 

mori, or at least it still acts as an effective 

facade to mask the burning bush's political 

alternative agenda. How sweet and fitting is it 

to die for one man's greed?
