Through the Mirror

Through the Mirror
 Seems there's some commotion, starting in town
 Wild run emotions, as their blood coats the ground
 No innocent are spared, caught in the crossfire
 Papers call it a "surge", and send it on the wire
 Chorus:
 Looking through the mirror, of lies and illusion
 The story sold, blurred with delusion
 Looking through the mirror, society disintegrates
 New Rome has had its run, liberty eviscerates
 Distortions of the truth, for an illegal war
 No pittance for the lost, lives of the poor
 No cost too small, just ignore the flood
 When the price of oil, is the price of blood
 Appointed misleaders, empire's formation
 Who fix the law, purchased legislation
 Gone are the days, of envisioned democracy
 Welcome to the land, of the American theocracy
