It is a thing that hides And bides it's time for when it's right It lays waiting for its prepotency Feeding on affliction, reduce devour, it's re-begun The seeds of fear grow the needles of desperation
He'll scream the words of madness to consume you And free the hydra of your nagging bigotries The Dark Angel who's armies are waking Wholly they've chosen to hate He'll bring us down to our knees
You see its shadow crawl, there's something strange about it all A heaviness that doesn't have a name Mass shooting, mass trauma you feel the fingers tighten under your jaw The Circus continues just the same
He'll scream the chords of wrath and of ire And bleed the oils of a poisoned industry The war bringer his armies are waiting Corrupted we stand frozen, he'll bring the world to its knees
Bombing and Gassing Raping and looting The tools of his trade stabbing and shooting The pendulum swings and the time is suspending A window is closing the cycle not ending
We've seen its face before, the world engulfed in total war Its time may have come once again The catalyst of hate arrives prepared to wage a genocide How many of you will join his campaign?
He'll preach from verses and promise all salvation He'll swear that providence is a vision he has seen He'll use your deepest beliefs to uproot you Crooked are his crosses And he'll bring YOU down TO YOUR KNEES
