lyrics

Belief has been programmed to put us all to war
Philosophical wisdom has no meaning anymore
Replete with opposing factions, our country writhes
The fence will soon burn, so choose your side.
Struggle through the thorn maze of political torment
Agitate, proliferate, castigate and foment
Vie for control, because Tyranny makes sense
No choice or retreat in this age of lament…

The night’s rising high in the age of hate and stagnation
Our bloodlust compels us to new aberrations
As emperors and rapists, we stand as a nation
Our Legions of the dead marching to devastation
The flag flies high with encompassing might
The heavenly colors of white, right and blight
What do we worship, if not this country of light?
The black cloud of division broods overhead to unite…

Controversy spreads like the odor of the grave
Binding us underneath storm clouds and waves
Matter and motion
Distrust and emotion
Decrepit devotion
The Fear of God
Systemic, invasive
Pernicious, evasive
Euphoric, pervasive
Polluting Phenomenon.

Conductor Disharmony plays us like chess
In a hopeless crusade of fools and duress
Scrying, denying
Perpetual lying
No one to confide in
The Truth is lost
Only opinions
Revised and reprinted
The public indifferent
Polluting Phenomenon.

To rule the world, to play the Lord is to own ten thousand minds and more
When choice is scorned and flayed alive, what else is being human for?
Slaughter, attrition
Disease and addiction
The latest edition
In Genocide
Saviors and Villains
The Just and the Killers
The Kings and the Withered
Polluting Phenomenon
Because faith makes the world go ‘round.
