0:16This is breaking news
0:17It appears that air force One was shot down
0:20Somewhere over the middle East this morning
0:22By a sleeper cell of rogue terrorists
0:23Firing a Stinger Missile
0:25The Pilot and all passengers are unaccounted for
0:28The President's whereabouts are presently unknown
0:30And he is presumed missing
0:32The Vice President secretary of state
0:34And principals of the military are assembling
0:36Our nation stands at DEFCON 3
0:40The greatest crisis will someone come for me
0:43I red white and blew it
0:45Unleashed revenge my body is detained
0:48How could anybody do this
0:51Betrayal I peel away the days
0:53Medals are useless Uncle Sam's forgotten me
0:55I'm not important no one will ever come
0:58I'll never be found
0:59God get me out of this hell
1:02Nuclear battlefields energized
1:07Cold wars are heating up again
1:13The tensions mounting
1:17People lift up your fists in revenge
1:29The stage is set
1:31Who will be the first to blink
1:34We can't go to war
1:37Remember that Vietnam thing
1:40Peace at any price
1:42With a gun to your head bang bang
1:45Weakness runs in your family
1:48What runs in mine is death
2:01This is your 5 minute warning
2:04Burn all of your classified documents
2:07And if cooler heads don't prevail
2:10First strike from a political dead man
2:23Appeasement only makes the aggressor more aggressive
2:26He understands only one language action
2:28And he respects only one word force
2:31No sign of them stopping
2:32No time for back channel communiques
2:35We need all the help we can get
2:37Air strikes and invasions retaliate I say
2:40The will of good men
2:42Can not counter the terrible strain of war
3:31Blackmail the universe with the greatest of calamities
3:36Awaken those sleeping giants in the dust of the ground
3:42With their skin destroyed unjust to innocence
3:47Lawful possessor of the world's last 24 hours
4:02Terror and ugliness reveal what death really means
4:07And in hatred you see men as they really are
4:13If chosen over heaven Earth will have been for them
4:18All along only another region of hell
