Removing Tendons (Choke's Mix)

about

When I wrote this one initially in 2016 (iirc, at any rate the demo is included on the first Information Dump collection) it was about a small group of people personally familiar to me. People who, without changing an iota, would become the typical boomer Trump supporter. In 2017 I polished up the lyrics and here you have the result which is aimed at the larger group to whom the original target of my ire belong.

lyrics

The end is near; you won't survive.
Your path is clear; it's lit with lies.
Your hate is empty; your heart is black
and what you've given up you won't get back.

Fear becomes you.

Your faith a monster with many heads;
it eats your children to praise your dead.
Your horn of plenty, just plenty wrong.
And you were always empty, all along.

Fear becomes you.

Your monstrous shadow stands erect
gripping tight the wrongs you won't correct.
Your hollow victory, a victory still.
You sleep like a baby and always will.

Fear becomes you.
