Fading Justice (Part Three) Lyrics

They signed the act but it's our freedom they bled

Now they're living in our homes living in our heads

Patriot Act's ink got our flag in its stain

Sacrificed rights for security's name

PRISM's prism but it ain't about light

It's how they fracture our freedom keep it outta sight

NSA's eyes watch every blink you take

You think it's protection but it's power they make

Every text every call they're stacking the facts

Turning privacy into another state tax

Your search history a map of your soul

While they claim it's all about keeping control

But tell me who's protected when freedom's in chains?

The price we pay is our liberty's remains

They tap your brainwaves databanks grow tall

But the towers ain't the only thing destined to fall

Justice fades with every blink

Liberty's drowning while they think

Freedom dies in defense's name

But the enemy's hidden in their own game

Snowden's leaks left their fortress exposed

But the deeper you dig the darker it grows

Every email you send every word you type

They slice through your rights feeding off the hype

Guantanamo's walls stand tall in the mind

But now we're all detainees no trial to find

In the name of terror we're all suspects

They don't need evidence just digital wrecks

Surveillance ain't defense it's the system's core

While the truth they once promised is now folklore

Who guards the guards when they spy for gain?

Feeding on fear banking on pain

We traded freedom for a false sense of trust

And now our Constitution's collecting dust

Justice fades with every blink

Liberty's drowning while they think

Freedom dies in defense's name

But the enemy's hidden in their own game

PRISM cracks codes NSA cracks lives

Behind closed doors where no warrant survives

Knock before dawn they sweep through the streets

But the terror ain't overseas it's here where we meet

They traded liberty for control's tight grip

But who's really in charge of this sinking ship?

Judges bought drones in the air

And we sit in silence like it's just fair

The enemy ain't in caves it's right at home

Where Big Brother's empire continues to roam

Soldiers fought wars but the fight's come back

Because we're the ones now under attack

They sell you safety but take it in trade

Now the battle's at home where justice fades

Justice fades with every blink

Liberty's drowning while they think

Freedom dies in defense's name

But the enemy's hidden in their own game

They signed the act claimed it was for peace

But justice is the first to feel the squeeze
