When a person or country determines that an enemy needs to be defeated, they do everything in their power to destroy their enemy. Though the person or country may have initially had righteous intentions, they are destined to compromise any honorable purpose, thus becoming the enemy. Or perhaps they and we always were and always are the enemy.
"Enemy" is an unyielding alternative pop rock song about conflict and war. The music composed by Piero Peluche captures the chaotic nature of those in opposition. The lyrics and vocals by Kara Square are presented in a stoic manner to emphasize the chilling truth of the human capacity for cruelty and our malleable perception.
lyrics
In my heart, I want to believe
But it’s taken away by, by the enemy
Lies, distractions put on display
By the enemy, by the enemy
Systematically, methodically
Hidden away by, by the enemy
Everything we know
Everything we hope
Destroyed by, by the enemy
We’ll confront, we’ll obstruct
Break down, strike down
The enemy, the enemy
Investigate, interrogate
Seize control, we’ll overthrow
The enemy, the enemy
We’ll dominate, subjugate, regulate
The truth is on our side
Annihilate, obliterate
Suppress their ignorance
There’s nowhere they can hide
You are either with us or you are against us
You are either with us or you are against us
You are either with us or you are against us
We are the enemy
We are the enemy
We are the enemy
We are the enemy
