Lyrics

Attack

[Intro: Daron Malakian & Serj Tankian]

Breathing each other's lives

Holding this in mind

That if we fall, we all fall

And we fall alone

[Verse 1: Serj Tankian]

The cold insincerity of steel machines

Have consumed our euphoria

Transforming us into muted dreams

Dreaming of the day that

[Chorus: Serj Tankian]

We attack, attack, attack your fetal servitude

We attack, attack, attack, attack with pesticide

We attack, all the years of propaganda

We shall attack

[Verse 2: Serj Tankian]

Books illustrate what we already know

Candles cry towards the sky

Raising your flags along polluted coast

Dreaming of the day that

[Chorus: Serj Tankian]

We attack, attack, attack your fetal servitude

We attack, attack, attack, attack with pesticide

We attack, all the years of propaganda

We shall attack

[Post-Chorus: Serj Tankian]

Attack

Attack

[Bridge: Daron Malakian with Serj Tankian]

Breathing each other's lives

Holding this in mind

That if we fall, we all fall

And we fall alone

Breathing each other's lives

Holding this in mind

That if we fall, we all fall

And we fall alone

[Verse 3: Serj Tankian]

What's the philosophy of displaced mines?

The bombing of all homes and villages

Truth is the only sword bleeding minds

Bleeding 'til the day that

[Chorus: Serj Tankian]

We attack, attack, attack your fetal servitude

We attack, attack, attack, attack with pesticide

We attack, all the years of propaganda

We shall attack

[Outro: Serj Tankian]

Attack all the homes and villages

Attack all the schools and hospitals

You attack all the rapes and pillages

We shall attack, we shall attack
