The Ink and the Quill (Be Afraid) Lyrics

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 that we know...
Be afraid, be afraid, (oh, no)...
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 fists 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?

Water tastes like a***nic; feel it pumping, coursing in your blood
Your throat gets tight, you can't quite breathe
Room spinning, kiss your a** goodbye
Now you're off, you've been taken on a ride
We've been sold, been sold a Bill of Lies...

There's a storm cloud gathering overhead:
Ominous, black, reigning hell
When it drops jackboots down on your streets
You're gonna pray like hell that you're armed to the teeth
Built on a corporate welfare scam:
Rumsfield Doctrine stealing wealth
Profits so saccharine sweet
The Wall Street bankers weep

As the storm gains strength
The aging levees break
The ancient ground does quake
And your lungs will fill your spineless apathy
