Clenching The Fists Of Dissent [2007 - The Blackening]
War!
Do you hear revolution's call? It's time to fight our own denial Warmongers keep us locked in fear Invoke the past, a moment of tears
An ugly truth Put fourth by our youth Under the threat of patriotic brute, so
Use your rage It is a weapon We now must engage
Let trumpers sound our call Or by their lies we will fall
Gnash down our teeth in hate and sing
Sing revolution's song When they say die Die for America
War!
They say that freedom isn't free It's paid with the lives of sons and families Cause blood is their new currency And oil pumps the heart of money
So fight as one Without a fucking gun Words are the bullets to this revolution
Use your pain The battlegrounds, the streets are ablaze
Excess will pave their path The winds of change, our bloodbath
Gnash down our teeth in hate and sing
Sing revolution's song When they say die Die for America
Power and prejudice Actions they use to pit against Terror, insurgency Words used to scare conformity It's propaganda, it's their hypocrisy Free to choose our own slavery
All suffer humanity
Fight
Fight – for all those that you love Scream – choking with foot upon throat Blind – star spangled eyes Death – no more the truth you will hide No, more
So how do they sleep? While out mothers weep They're selling our souls And our blood for oil
Our generation Can be the fucking one That overcomes the greed of corrupt nations
Have no shame You're not alone in thinking this is fucking insane
Rise up and take your stand And curl the fingers of your hand
And I don't know what to do Cause I don't have the answers But with every ounce of strength I'll vow to fight this cancer
Didn't say I want to lead I just might let you down Didn't say believe in me Just hold this common ground
I'm just as lost as you And probably more confused So fucking far from perfect My mind wrecked from abuse
There's something fucking wrong When war takes sons and daughters Our lambs misled to slaughter
War! Clenching the fists of dissent Lies! Clenching the fists of dissent Fear! Clenching the fists of dissent Change! Clenching to hope
