Instrumental
(Nightly of D.C. unrest after the King assassination)
|

2. |
Two Chambers
03:14
|
|||
(Metrorail train alerts passengers on the platform)
Take the train from the transfer line
To the place where the high dome shines
Throwing stones to make the rules
Apotheosis declines (Chorus)
Two chambers demise (Chorus)
The measures designed
To hide the truth defined
|
||||
3. |
Before the Bomb
02:30
|
|||
Personality cults enshrined
Military advances, sanctions refined
No cultural exchange can repair
A world leader’s dares
Open the line
Before the bombs drop (Chorus)
|

4. |
Soul's Fire Escape
02:57
|
|||
Piety, a commodity
Bought and sold for ideology
Keep the believers fanned, weapons in hand
Campaign in the church pews (Chorus)
Values vote
Vacuous, values vote
Where is the soul’s fire escape? (Chorus)
|
||||
5. |
National Rifles
02:41
|
|||
Confidence comes in a pistol grip
Cognitive dissonance makes it slip
Constitution absolute
Time to confute
National Rifles raise the cash
To fill the politicians’ war stash
National Rifles inbound (Chorus)
The homeland is a killing ground (Chorus)
|
||||
6. |
Stilyagi
03:05
|
|||
The message relayed, a familiar refrain
Tear down the boasts, somethings never fade
The dossier’s named, deployed, and sustained
The top cronies already paid
Stilyagi (Chorus)
The declarations amended
Twittered and appended (Chorus)
There are no market solutions for collapsing institutions
|
||||
7. |
Two Chambers (Returned)
02:03
|
|||
Instrumental
|
||||
8. |
The Rally
02:41
|
|||
Stone keeps what the general’s sown
Reconstruction’s bemoan
The lies retold
Where’s your rally? (Chorus in protest)
Like a cannon salvo
The lost cause undertow
When you march by torchlight
Only one side when the fires burn (Chorus)
