The Ink And The Quill


The water turned black, and it's just getting darker
So be afraid, be afraid, be very afraid of the coming nightmare
The neo-christian theocrats pray on a Sunday afternoon
Then welcome in Pinochet's men to intimidate and kill
All that we know, all we know

Be afraid, be afraid, be afraid, be afraid, be afraid, be afraid
Be very afraid of the coming nightmare
Be afraid, be afraid, be afraid, be afraid, be afraid, be afraid
Be very afraid of the coming nightmare

So filled with exhilaration and feels like intoxication
There's nothing like a firefight to get your blood pumping
We get off to the rhythm of the trigger and destruction
Fallujah to New Orleans with impunity to kill
We are the hidden fist of the free market
We are the ink, we are the quill
What have you learned through the years?
What have you learned from your fears?

Be afraid, be afraid, be afraid, be afraid, be afraid, be afraid
Be very afraid of the coming nightmare
Be afraid, be afraid, be afraid, be afraid, be afraid, be afraid
Be very afraid of the coming nightmare

Water tastes like arsenic
Feel it pumping, coarsing in your blood
Your throat gets tight, you can't quite breathe
Room's spinning, kiss your ass goodbye
Now you're off, you've been taken on a ride
We've been sold, been sold a billion lies, a billion lies

Be afraid, be afraid, be afraid, be afraid, be afraid, be afraid
Be very afraid of the coming nightmare
Be afraid, be afraid (oh no), be afraid, be afraid (oh no)
Be afraid, be afraid, be very afraid of the coming nightmare
Be afraid, be afraid (oh no), be afraid, be afraid (oh no)
Be afraid, be afraid, be very afraid

There's a storm cloud gathering overhead,
Ominous, black, reigning hell
When it drops jackboot down on your streets
You're gonna pray like hell that you're armed to the teeth
Built on a corporate welfare scam
Rumsfeld doctrine stealing wealth
Profits to saccharine sweet, the wall street bankers weep
As the storm gains strength, the aging levees break
The ancient ground does quake
And your lungs fill with your spineless apathy
