Burned Device Lyrics - When The Storm Comes Down - Flotsam And Jetsam

Down in the deep, black hole of my heart 

I feel the pain inside of the dreams that died 

And I saw a dark message clawed on a wall today, it said 

Forever burn this world, it's far too late 

Now I stare out my window, I see the towers rise 

Toxics seep into my backyard before my very eyes 

Industrial revolution, no other solution 

For the junk cultured junkies needs 

So take a deep breath because it ain't over yet 

The machine it's got to bring you down to your knees 

Outside the gates of redemption inside my happy home 

Contact with big Mr. Mega Bucks on my cellular phone 

Dollar for dollar the business hounds holler 

Sour mouthed stomachs well fed 

And I'm moving the game yet I still complain 

The paranoia, it swells inside my head 

How will I ever know which way the wind blows 

Will there be no place to hide when the storm comes down 

To tear off my hide, defenseless, rich or poor 

When the wolves start gathering round my door 

Self-destructed, I never anticipated 

Such pain from the things that I've created 

Burn, burn, burn, burn, the device and the ice that's in my heart 

Burn down the lies and the hatred in my eyes 

Let it burn, burn to see the world turn 

And it's all there in front of me 

And I feel compelled to make you see...reality 

This is the turning point, these are the crossroads 

Detonated lunacy and it's not a dream, it's not a dream 

No greener sky, no blacker sky, no greater war inside of me 

Now I stare out my window, the patients on the lawn 

Loved ones visiting hours wonder what went wrong, wrong, wrong 

Outside the gates of redemption, my mind is never alone 

Hospitalized, lobotomized, big machine, please come take me home 

This is reality
