Description
This is supposed to represent anything reactionary, ugly, or destructive that our country did to itself after 9/11. In a deliberate effor to avoid any political point of view, the song goes through the events and attitudes of the Bush administration and lands in the liberal turn-around afterward.
Lyrics
Fear in our hearts Steel in the sky Bring us the one Dead or alive I affirm to execute the constitution of this country; to defend her from all enemies, terror foreign and domestic. Listen and follow suspect activity. Searching and watching for your security. Darken the window - secrets and shadowplay. Righteous in vengeance - strike where the vipers lay. Save us from our salvation. The iron is mixed with clay. Remake the world in our own image. Peace dawns on the horizon. Fear returns. The spiral plummets. --- You won't stop until I eat from your hand.
