lyrics

The swarming revolution ate my mind
I thought this velvet uprising would be kind
I wanted everything to be made right
But we ushered in all the darkness of the night

There is a disease upon this land
Nothing we do will stay her hand
The bright exit of reason and compassion
It seems that ugliness is all the fashion

The borders swarm with her minions
No matter how malformed their opinions
No matter how many we send into the black
They never die, they always come back

They sent out a lifeboat
It came back empty
It wasn’t that the people drowned
There just weren’t any
What kind of place must this be
If those poor souls would rather live in misery

Now the Swarm has come, with all it’s delusion
Spreading lies like candy, making confusion
The good people gone, back over the sea
This land is done, no hope for the likes of me

What happened to the government
All the money that they were sent
Couldn’t save us from the pestilence
And all we hear now is - silence

Holy Joe
There they go
What a show
How could I know?
I declaim
I am to blame
I’m in the frame
It was just a game

The queen of despair
She’s everywhere
You can’t escape
Her pillage and rape
You’ll kill a man
If she says you can
With a gun or a knife
You will end that life

They sent out a lifeboat
It washed up empty
They looked for the crew but they couldn’t find any
Last heard of escaping to France
Turned out a lifeboat was their only chance
