The Scum Also Rises
06:31
|

By tooth and claw, by hook or crook
Pretty covers on dirty books
Through hazy nights and wasted days
No sleep in the gutter, sleep in your grave
The scum also rises
Gasp for air, short of breath
The bitter taste of dust and death
Don’t want to know, ain’t gonna care
Another dream been worn threadbare
The scum also rises
Scum - hated and despised
Scum - there’s fear in your eyes
Scum - when we start to rise
Scum - no escape to night
Scum - there’s no wrong or right
Scum - set this town alight
Scum - this is our revenge
Scum - watch you break and bend
Scum - this will be your end
Lift up your head, don’t turn away
‘Cause every dog gets just one day
Grasp at straws, shoot out the lights
The day won’t come, so burn through the night
The scum also rises

Twilight's Last Gleaming
07:34

O, say can you see
through this haze of deceit
The roaring crowd, leaps to their feet
The illusion complete
Walk in your sleep, through nightmares unseen
Lost in American dreams
O’er the ramparts we watched
As what we fought for was lost
When victory means the same as defeat
It comes at too high a cost
For words our deaths come cheaply bought
But in flesh and blood they are wrought
At the twilight’s last gleaming
Shadows fall over the sleeping
Who lie content in believing their dreaming
Until we wake up screaming
At the twilight’s last gleaming
At the twilight’s last gleaming
Banners draped over the sleeping
Who lie deceased from believing their dreaming
Until we wake from our grieving
At the twilight’s last gleaming
O say can you see
That you live on your knees
Blindly led, through life and to death
For a nominal fee
I’ll live my life like a wolf among sheep
And I will die on my feet
At the twilight’s last gleaming
Shadows fall over the sleeping
Who lie content in believing their dreaming
Until we wake up screaming
At the twilight’s last gleaming
At the twilight’s last gleaming
Banners draped over the sleeping
Who lie deceased from believing their dreaming
Until we wake up grieving
At the twilight’s last gleaming

Scapegoat Parade
05:27
|

Lines drawn in black and white
Jackals spoil for a firefight
In fear we trust to snuff out the light
Tables turning from left to right
In a scapegoat parade, you stand accused
Against the grain of truth, without a shred of proof
A self-righteous charade - to execute
They need a scapegoat parade - to persecute
It’s your neck on the blade, in a scapegoat parade
Unbalanced scales will tip
With just one fatal slip
At your heels the jackals rip
When white knuckles fail to grip
In a scapegoat parade, you stand accused
Against the grain of truth, without a shred of proof
A self-righteous charade - to execute
They need a scapegoat parade - to persecute
It’s your neck on the blade, in a scapegoat parade
Scapegoat - eyes in the back of your head
Scapegoat - still only seeing red
Scapegoat - with every step you tread
Scapegoat - you might just wind up - dead
Your word is null and void
Reality gone paranoid
The jackals, overjoyed
Look on as you are destroyed
In a scapegoat parade, you stand accused
Against the grain of truth, without a shred of proof
A self-righteous charade - to execute
They need a scapegoat parade - to persecute
It’s our necks on the blade, in a scapegoat parade
