The Old Beast (for Kyle) ft. Changes Lyrics

From afar we saw it coming

But the rest refused to see

Same old curse it seemed upon us

None would hear Cassandra's plea

Though the voice was loud and clear

'Twas the wilderness too vast

Steady lies and propaganda

brought the fall, the die was cast

The low-lives and the rubble

Rising up to tip their spear

Burn and loot and murder

Same old fist, the reds are here

Never gone, never forgotten

Veiled and hidden for so long

Grew as cancer in the world

Swayed the youth in ways so wrong

They sacrifice the children

For their riotous red dawn

And crucify the hero

That the mob had set upon

They're lusting for the blood

Of the innocent and free

"You shouldn't have your rights

fall in line and just agree"

Pictures burst the frame

Yet their framing will not stop

'Til our heads are firmly placed

On their bloody chopping block

In view of all the world

Trotting out their pervert's views

But the ones are vilified

Shielding children from abuse

Sick and twisted evil

From the same old rotten crew

They open up the prisons

In the end there's nothing new

Miscreants as the shock-troops

And the comrades in the back

The plan was always known

And it seems they are on track

They sacrifice the children

For their riotous red dawn

And crucify the hero

That the mob had set upon

"Let yourself be martyred

Or we'll throw away the key"

So blatant were their lies

We all saw, he tried to flee

No matter what's uncovered

Still, the wretch they idolize

Even built a statue

And ignore his victims' cries

The toxic coalition

And the perfect firestorm

Rolled over the world

The old beast in a new form

Justice, by a thread

Held our breath and bit our nails

For better men to set it right

Where blood had left its trails

The avatar of all of us

Broke down but never cracked

Set free again - was in the right

Fought back when they attacked

Brought too far - so close this one

And the others, they fell down

For standing up against the dregs

That set ablaze the town

Still, they want to come for him

Plan death for him and all

Who stand against what they believe

Who oppose our culture's fall

They sacrifice the children

For their riotous red dawn

And crucify the hero

That the mob had set upon

The toxic coalition

And the perfect firestorm

Rolled over the world

The old beast in a new form

They're lusting for the blood

Of the innocent and free

"You shouldn't have your rights -

fall in line and just agree"

No matter how hard they may try

To choke, smother and squeeze

Enough of us will die upright

Than live upon our knees

Enough of us will die upright

Than live upon our knees

Than live upon our knees
