Iron Fangs

FUCK ICE 3 (Iron Fangs)


Only the hands of desperate cowards

Cling so tightly, grasp this hard

Until every life blurs into one

Until we are the faces in the crowd


When it takes six pathetic slugs

To murder only one of us

They have to know their days are numbered

And coming to the end of ropes


When the virtuous are terrorists

That tells you who the powerful are

When the predators are emperors

Instability is what follows


Fascism cries out like noisy ghosts

Seeking whom it may devour

A lion hoping the lambs have not

Taken up their iron fangs


Ice melts when met with molten lead

Poltergeists caught up in their own trap

Seeking enemies around every bend

Headlong toward their final gasps


Do not give to them the power they seek

They think they have blind Justice cowed

They think for them Liberty bleeds

But they are the ones bleeding out


When the righteous are enemy number one

That tells you where the wide path leads

To destruction go the Pharisees

We have so many tables left to upturn


Every whip we wield for shielding

Our neighbors though strangers they be

We will meet the wind unbroken

We will weep with fury like the sea


Let the wasps never forget

Let the locusts hear our cries

Let them know they are outnumbered

Let them know where true power lies


Revoke consent to those who govern

Break everyone who won't repent

Smash the fingers of fascists

Pull the eyes from tyranny's head


No mercy for the wicked ones

Depart into Gehenna's flame

For none of you have truly known me

None of you deserve my name


When shall the least of these be first?

When shall the final trumpet sound?

When shall the chain at last be broken?

When shall the devil at last be bound?


When it takes six corpulent thugs

To murder just one nurse

They know that out of all the bugs

We, the ants, outnumber them
