Lyrics and translation
Original
Do you know the enemy? Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, oh yeah.
Do you know the enemy? Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, oh yeah.
Do you know the enemy? Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, oh yeah.
Violence is an energy against the enemy.
Well, violence is an energy, oh yeah.
Bringing down the fury, the choir infantry revolts against the honor to obey. Oh, overflow the apathy, the vast majority.
Well, burning down the foreman of control.
Silence is an enemy against your urgency surrounding us, the demons of your soul.
Do you know the enemy? Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, oh yeah.
Do you know the enemy? Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, oh yeah.
Insurgency will rise when the blood's been sacrificed.
Don't be blinded by the lies in your eyes.
Sing!
Oh, whoa, oh, yeah.
Oh, whoa, oh, yeah.
Well, violence is an energy. Oh, whoa, oh, whoa.
From here to eternity. Oh, whoa, oh, whoa. Violence is an energy.
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa.
Silence is the enemy, so kill me, kill me with my own shot.
Do you know the enemy? Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, oh yeah. Do you know the enemy? Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, oh yeah.
Do you know the enemy? Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, oh yeah.
Overflow the apathy, the vast majority. Well, burning down the foreman of control.
Silence is an enemy against your urgency surrounding us, the demons of your soul.
