Red Coloured Emotions

lyrics

red coloured emotions

I am a modern hunter –
marching through the rain
looking for a bloody shot –
I play a gainful game
landscapes not my main target –
I want to face the fear
my soul painted with foreign blood –
my illusions disappear

jarring sirens in the air –
I shoot a dying man
his eyes wide open he goes down
shouts declining in the night
he is a father and my friend …
shit happens but it sells
I understand but can't prevent –
turn off my mind and hold his hand

I got an order – another mission –
I don't know what I get
fingers ready on the trigger –
emotions coloured red
I'm a soldier without faith –
the camera my most brutal gun
aiding a desperate mom to see
that bullets passed into her son.

(chorus 1)
interchangeable man walking on their way – straight from life to death
visual failures were captured on film
by puppets not able to see
their hands adjust the focal distance
to feed the daily press
leaving the scenes when the job is done – looking for other atrocities

(chorus 2)
the interchangeable man walking on their way
straight from screen to shot
telling the world that their work is worth – there's nothing left but this
creating in the name of peace
another deeply shocking decay
promoted wars in tasty bytes –
maybe god will bless your soul
