Machine Head - Clenching the fists of Dissent


War!

Do you hear revolution's call?
It's time to fight our own denial
Warmongers keep us locked in fear
Invoke the past, a moment of tears

An ugly truth
Put forth by our youth
Under the threat of patriotic brute, so

Use your rage
It is a weapon
We now must engage

Let trumpets sound our call
Or by their lies we will fall

Gnash down our teeth in hate and sing

Sing revolution's song
When they say die
Die for America


War!

They say that freedom isn't free
It's paid with the lives
Of sons and families
Cause blood is their new currency
And oil pumps the heart of money

So fight as one
Without a fucking gun
Words are the bullets to this revolution

Use your pain
The battlegrounds, the streets are ablaze

Excess will pave their path
The winds of change, our bloodbath

Gnash down our teeth in hate and sing

Sing revolution's song
When they say die
Die for America

Power and prejudice
Actions they use to pit against
Terror, insurgency
Words uses to scare conformity
It's propaganda, it's their hypocrisy
Free to choose our own slavery

All suffer humanity


Fight

Fight -- for all that you love
Scream -- choking with foot upon threat
Blind -- star spangled eyes
Death -- no more the truth you will hide
No, more

So how do they sleep?
When our mothers weep
They're selling our souls
And our blood for oil

Our generation
Can be the fucking one
That overcomes the greed
Of corrupt nations

Have no shame
You're not alone in thinking
This is fucking insane

Rise up and take your stand
And curl the fingers of your hand

And I don't know what to do
Cause I don't have the answers
But with ever ounce of strength
I'll vow to fight this cancer

Didn't say I want to lead
I just might let you down
Didn't say believe in me
Just hold this common ground

I'm just as lost as you
And probably more confused
So fucking far from perfect
My mind wrecked from abuse

There's something fucking wrong
When war takes sons and daughters
Our lambs misled to slaughter

War!
Clenching the fists of dissent
Lies!
Clenching the fists of dissent
Fear!
Clenching the fists of dissent
Change!
Clenching to hope

Uncontrollable mask of fear
homicides all entities,

Putrefy the purity
make everything bleed,

Leprosy of mankind
pulling trigger one time,

Nailed to cross all but hatred
Headstrong faded,
bled,
to,
death

K:
For every word and loss
we've faded all our hopes
to see this world in all peace and harmony

As the dreams fade away
we can't have the hate
insanity leads us to destruction
--


We have seen this hell
growing from the seeds of despair
(which doesn't feel us)

On the depths of beliefs
the saints we love have us diseased
(they can't see us)

I DON'T WANT TO DIE LIKE THIS

For all this life i've been waiting
All these long nights i'd been hoping
Hoping to find someone i love

Oh, when dreams became true
I had it find hard to believe
Believe how alive i was, loving you

For that time i didn't worry about the future
I had everything i'd ever wanted, ever needed
For the first time in my life I didin't just wait (And that was the last time)

And when it all falls down, i'm left with just nothing
Nothing but sorrow
Again in the lonely path, waiting for the future
Only thing i wait is the end, the end
Death is the only thing left, only thing left

Wait, greet, joy. The only thing left.
One thing left.
