Violence

Violence the language
Death the message
Blood the medium
Threats read like poetry

People make numbers
Books make good fires
Kicks making bruises
Color the skin of those who are not me

Thousands of years of culture undone
Sinking our teeth on the flesh of our own
One leader can be shaken off throne
But tyranny climbs again and again
With violence

Violence the language
Screaming inside our heads
Drowning out
All forms of discourse

I see the enemy
Staring back at me
Violence
The first in command

Thousands of years of culture undone
Sinking our teeth on the flesh of our own
One leader can be shaken off throne
But tyranny climbs again and again
With violence

Thousands of years of culture undone
Sinking our teeth on the flesh of our own
One leader can be shaken off throne
But tyranny climbs again and again
With violence

(Solos)

Thousands of years of culture undone
Sinking our teeth on the flesh of our own
One leader can be shaken off throne
But tyranny climbs again and again (It climbs again)
With violence
