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…

It is out there people... does anyone really believe that those that crave power so much, will give it up so readily! Just an honest question...and anyone who is elected is just a pawn to a bigger cause! not of their own making, the cause... of which they are a part
