seven seas, four billion IPs
platoons full of soldiers all identical to me
i can chop at the root, like the base of life's tree
try to drop but they shoot, fire shots at high speed
some like it hot, now they're screaming "why me"
tie the knot, you're engaged to this future like me
this is more than foreign war, we're assured to die free
hordin' for another tour, not the kind you sight-see
type keys, clear the channel history
i speak, condition anonymity
wide screens, projecting all the imagery
behind these high beams to display the setting visibly
cold in this winter see the steam from when i breathe
agents of these ministries lock us in this freeze
the fight rages on while the victims mourn and grieve
the internet's the battlefield, believe we're under siege
this is hostile, never backing down
scorched earth policies, i'm standing my ground
remember and respect to the message we're bound
the path is so dangerous to find a way around
this is hostile, we're never backing down
facing scorched earth policies we're standing our ground
never will forget to the message we're bound
the path is too dangerous to find a way around
there's a war going on outside no man is safe from
on the cyber frontier for this planet where our fates run
resort to back and forth, give and then i'll take some
of course we'd apply our mindset to this creation
authenticate -- past it, crypto -- cracked it
teams take city infrastructures down for practice
sure that you're secure and nobody can hack this
the reason they typecast white hat tactics
the threat is in and out, both sides of the costa
running out of time so we've gotta make the most of
get a close-up, i don't want to get your hope up
see the crash when they tried to pass SOPA, NOPE-UH
sheer and total chaos, the progress we'll unset
you think that you want some feel free to come get
open up your eyes looking for the next stuxnet
the code's already there, we just haven't let it run yet
this is hostile, never backing down
scorched earth policies, i'm standing my ground
remember and respect to the message we're bound
the path is so dangerous to find a way around
this is hostile, we're never backing down
facing scorched earth policies we're standing our ground
never will forget to the message we're bound
the path is too dangerous to find a way around
time for an update: situation critical
it's real world war much more than individuals
created a connection from virtual to physical
then torched that bridge and pissed on the residuals
these are armies, not just introverted smart kids
fighting for the future leave your smart grid hard hit
life supports powered down, flat line darkniss
power to the people, not enough to make a heart skip
country offline after striking with a core hit
the off-switch op-shin (option) of nuking it from orbit
think they've had enough, well we're sending even more bits
with no way to tell even if they try to forfeit
buffers overflow like a mushroom cloud
climbing into high mem, the heaps spraying down
the ports and the hatches -- batten them down
you think this is fiction? it's happening now
