Faces Of Grief

(album: Age Of Unreason - 2019)

Broken engines of belief
Iniquity in stark relief
Red rabble of mendacity
(A cabal of psychopathy)

Grim bailiffs wait like minarets
While sister fends a mounting threat
In crucible of hypocrisy
(A Greco-Roman tragedy)

Faces of grief
Rage is a key
Pain is a thief
Faces of grief
Rage is a key
Pain is a thief

Amidst darkness let us vow to insure her light will be remembered

Radicalized Evangelicals
Awash in primate chemicals
Bare shiny fangs for all to see
(A rictus of misogyny)

Obeisance to a maniac
The slavering lackeys stay on track
In this democracy's darkest hour
(A doctor dares speak truth to power)

Faces of grief
Rage is a key
Pain is a thief
Faces of grief
Rage is a key
Pain is a thief

Amidst darkness let us vow to insure her light will be remembered
