Call Off The Dogs

(album: Ignite - 2022)

We're full of hate and still we wonder
Why does it seem we're pit against one another
What if this is all the plan
To plot against your fellow man
Who plants the sewing grains
Who lies beneath the threshers blades
Warm your hands over the fires
Burning all our houses while we sleep

Wake up it's time we said

Call off the dogs
Shoot for the kill
Think we're giving up
Deny your programming today
With every word
With every breath
Drawing to an end
Deny your programming today

Like everyone I want to believe
Grabbing at smoke for a chance to breathe
By design it grabs a hold
So forget and do what you're told
Call off the dogs
Shoot for the kill
If you don't know now you never will

Call off the dogs
Shoot for the kill
Think we're giving up
Deny your programming today
With every word
With every breath
Drawing to an end
Deny your programming today

You almost had me believing
(Have to learn to forget)
That this is all I am
(Have to live for something)
Trade in the comfort of safety
(I won't stop believing)
Embracing banishment

Call off the dogs
Shoot for the kill

Call off the dogs
Shoot for the kill

Wake up it's time we said

Call off the dogs
Shoot for the kill
Think we're giving up
Deny your programming today
With every word
With every breath
Drawing to an end
Deny your programming today

With every breath
I won't believe
With every word
That this is all I am
