lyrics

Climate Violence

She walks where darkness spreads itself
From the cracks in old transformers
Eye by eye in the belly of the beast
The tents of the performers
In and out between the lines
Of empty T.V. monitors
She walks down roads where no one goes
There's no one there to warn her

She walked!
She watched!
She walked!
She watched!

(continued next page)
Ordered lives, empty heads
Fell into the security systems
Gridlock roadblock deadly dullness
They freeze, but you never miss them
Waiting in the wings with a funeral song
Like the hollow jaw of a bell
She watched them all
She watched them all
As one by one they fell

She walked!
She watched!
She walked!
She watched!

Continuous chaos CLIMATE OF VIOLENCE
The uniformed murderer prowls
Ritual massing in a system of silence
Where distraction is all that's allowed

Instinct sense, the dogs are barking
The bloody banter of the night
Saw one fall to a uniform
The victim of pointless spite

She walked she watched she walked she watched
She walked she watched she walked she watched
