Clenching the Fists of Dissent

Behold The Blackening...

Go

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 forth by our youth

Under the threat of patriotic brute, so

Use your rage

It is a weapon

We now must engage

Let trumpets 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

Solo: Flynn

War!

Solo: Demmel

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 (Power)

And prejudice (Prejudice)

Actions they use to pit against

Terror (Terror)

Insurgency (Insurgency)

Words uses to scare conformity

It's propaganda, it's their hypocrisy

Free to choose our own slavery

All suffer humanity

Solo: Demmel

Solo: Flynn

Solo: Demmel

Solo: Flynn

Raise your hands

Raise your fist and

(Fight, fight, fight, fight)

(Fight, fight, fight, fight)

(Fight, fight, fight, fight)

(Fight, fight, fight, fight)

Fight—for all 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 our mothers weep

They're selling our souls

(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

Hope
