    Story Behind the Song
    Isn't it amazing how we watch wars live on satellite from the comfort of our own home, like some form of Hollywood entertainment.

    Lyrics
    Did you read the headlines today?
    Have you seen the reports?
    One man brutal, brash and bold
    Is taking over from what we're told
    "Stop him now before he goes too far"
    Or are we already there?
    There lies the shadow of the reaper's hand
    Bringing the apocalypse unto this land

    There's a feeling in the air now
    The biting wind numbs
    The newshounds forewarn us
    Something wicked this way comes
    Coming through camera eyes
    Partly truth, partly lies
    The Masters work to synchronize
    Their brave new world

    They tell of a shift in the power now
    A new world order they bring
    Tensions mounted, words were passed
    Along the border media and troops were massed
    "Let the mighty war games begin"
    Someone at the top gave the sign
    The flames shot higher as the cameras turned on
    Power was wielded like witch hunters of Toulon

    There's a play for the power now
    As the hounds beg for crumbs
    Something wicked is approaching
    On the news wire it comes
    Coming through camera eyes
    Partly truth, partly lies
    The Masters work to synchronize ...

    There's a hatred in the air now
    The war machine hums
    The cable warns us further
    Something wicked this way comes
    Burning hot on the wire
    Shots of land caught on fire
    The masters conceive and conspire

    There's a bitterness in the air now
    The biting wind numbs
    The newshounds will show us
    All the evil, as it comes
    Foreign cities as they burn
    Read the news, you will learn
    The Masters make all of this your concern
    In their brave new world
