Dark Days Ahead

Omens
Dire omens
Written clearly
In the blood of our fathers

Wisdom
Of the elders
We've neglected
Impending downfall

Reaping
The disaster
Thus created
Headfirst into chaos

Headlines
Inventing crises
Fueling outrage
Deep-seated aggression

Welcome to the dawn of a new dark age
A ritual of stepping on the rake
Welcome to the onset of austerity
Devastation for our posterity

Sound bites
Grand distraction
Sate the masses
More bread and circus

Cheaters
Deceivers
Chasing power
We give rise to demagogues

Covert
Corporate leaders
Private meetings
Just a little favor

Stagnant
Broken record
Nothing changes
We must look within

How many times must we scribe
The same tired tale on the pages of history
Can we break the cycle, reverse the paradigm
Or must we continue to suffer for all time

Whining, crying
Intensifying
We're the ones to blame

Panic eruption
Breeding corruption
Always the fucking same

Shouting, fighting
Tempers rising
No respite for us all

Riots, upheaval
Contention primeval
Divided we shall fall
