Black Tide

I can see you're scared

And I can see your hands shaking like leaves

I can see you're scared

And I can see your hands shaking like leaves

"Blessed are the peacemakers, the children of God"

And we all witness the massacres in its name

The genocides it creates

And we all witness and we all partake

I can see you're scared

And I can see your hands shaking like leaves

I can see you're scared

I can see you coward

Just like a man scared of dark

Engaging war in the name of the most high

Just like a lamb misguided towards the holy light

Keep apprehending the end and the end will surely come

A self-fulfilled prophecy

The story of a celebration of ignorance

And old traditions helped us deny the obvious

This madness is ruining us all

In its name, in our name

A celebration of ignorance

A reenactment of a scene we've celebrated

And now, we don't care, never did, the black tide will soon hit the coast

You think this story started hard, wait this story's ending bad

A nation, a prophet, a new enemy

He claims God hears the words from his lips

And will show us the way to Salvation

You drink his words

Blood of Christ

Commandments

Now condemned to live this self-fulfilled prophecy

Just like a man scared of dark

Engaging war in the name of the most high

Just like a lamb misguided towards the holy light

Keep apprehending the end and the end will surely come

A self-fulfilled prophecy
