After reading the conversation about the 2nd verse lyrics, this is what I hear,

 

"war, war just moved up a gear

I don't think I can handle the truth

I'm just a pawn, and we're all expendable

Incidentally, electronically erased, by the..."

 

"Incidentally" seems strange though, it could be "in to..." something.

That's exactly what I've got as well (for the second verse, I mean). Incidentally seems like a weird word to use, makes sense in the context though.

 

On a side note, this song is quickly becoming one of my favourites since BHAR :awesome: Praying that the studio version is just as good.

Home is becoming a killing field

There's a cross hair locked on my heart

With no recourse and there's no one behind the wheel

Hellfire

??? Killed by

 

Drones

You've been killed by

Drones

You've been killed by

 

You bring lies and deceit

There's bodies on the shore

War

War's just moved up a gear

I don't think I can handle the truth

I'm just a pawn/boy and we're all expendable

Too much mind control

Bodies on the shore

To become reapers and horsemen

Now I am ready to know

 

You bring lies and deceit

Bodies on the shore

Too much mind control

Bodies on the shore

To become reapers and horsemen

Now I am ready to know

Hellfire, you're wiping me out

Killed by...

 

Also, 'Now I am radicalised' instead of 'Now I am ready to know'.

 

I don't know where "Now I'm ready to know" comes from because I have never heard it. To me it is clearly "Now I am radicalised" and I'm prepared to eat my hat if it's not.

Home,

It's becoming a killing field,

There's a crosshair locked on my heart,

With no recourse and there's no one behind the wheel,

Hellfire,

You are wiping me out!

 

Crossfire!

 

Drones!

Drones!

 

We will rise in the sea,

bodies on the shore,

We have to see ???

now I am radicalised.

 

War,

War just moved up a gear,

I don't think I can know the truth,

And trust upon and we're all expendable,

???

???

 

Crossfire!

 

Drones!

Drones!

 

 

Kill under my control,

Bodies on the shore,

To become reapers and horsemen,

Now I am radicalised.

 

We will rise in the sea,

Bodies on the shore,

???

???

 

Kill under my control,

Bodies on the shore,

To become reapers and horsemen,

Now I am radicalised.

 

 

That's about all I can make out from several listens. Pretty sure Matt sang different choruses at different gigs too.

Chorus based on Brighton performance:

 

"We will rise in the sea,

our bodies on the shore.

We've got to see our heaven,

but all I've got is suicide.

 

Kill under my control,

there's bodies on the shore.

We've got reapers and horsemen,

now I am radicalised.

 

We will rise in the sea,

our bodies on the shore.

We've got to see our heaven,

Now all we've got is blue light.

 

Killer(?) mind control,

bodies on the shore.

We've got reapers and horsemen,

Now I am radicalised."

 

Something like that.

definitely don't hear the blue light or suicide bits but i'm kinda hearing radicalised now

 

Kill under my control is definitely possible as well
