Fascism

To shut an open society to no uncertain fate

An end result of the merging of the corporation

And the state...

Bleeding us...

Bleeding us to death

With no one to turn to and nowhere to run

Hold on tight because the worst is yet to come

Create the threat... a terrifying act of violence

Control the press... to program mass compliance

Empower the police, soldiers patrol the streets

Random detention and release target activists and put them on a list

One day we'll all be terrorists

As we descend... to the depths

As we descend... of the past

As we descend... to the next chapter of fascism now

...and they start coming for you

First they came for the outcasts and I didn't speak

Because their reasons for fighting I just would not believe

Then they sent us to war and still I didn't speak

As all these people were dying based on lies and deceit

Then they shut down the protests, limit freedom of speech

Does anyone even notice when history repeats?

With no one left to keep fighting, you ask, "What can I do?"

When no one's left to speak up and they start coming for you
