Martial Lawlessness
I hear it friend! Don’t you?
But I’ve heard that sound before
When Legion screamed aloud its voice
And chilled men to the core…
They’ve sat so long in chamber
With nothing there to fear
The serpents head keeps changing
Each fifth or each tenth year
The ‘falling man’ a symbol
Unholiness abounds
A harsh reality awaits us all
As the chain-link underground
I hear it friend! Don’t you?
But I’ve heard that sound before
When Legion screamed aloud its voice
And chilled men to the core…
The worker claws at logic
Stores emptied without reason
The Devil’s in the detail
The poor accused of treason
We’ve watched the Towers fall
And we’ve seen the jaded truths
The proof of lies, they still deny
The eniquity the refute
I hear it friend! Don’t you?
But I’ve heard that sound before
When Legion screamed aloud its voice
And chilled men to the core…
Who’ll rise up to the call
The fight for Good or Evil
Protect our childrens future
Who’ll check the cards they’re Dealing
Our Brothers eyes are opened
Yet they tunnel in the dark
Their egos can’t deny their deeds
So they call themselves WAL-MART
I hear it friends! Can’t you?
Now, it’s louder than before
As Legion screams aloud
Its voice chills me to the core…
