Counter State Directive Lyrics


There’s something going wrong

In the autocratic soul

Cries of dissent are rife

Insurrection breathes aloud

From the mouths of middle ground

Working man thrashed to life

The rioting begins,

Agitators in the crowd

A bloodless ideal corrupt

As subversion crashes on

In a new and vicious trend

Exhorted by the intellectual, vocal minority

Inciting comrades to join their perfidy

Counter-revolutionary oppresses the oppressor,

Then becomes dictator

Mindful of the long knives brandished by

Counter-revolution following behind them

For all your virtue, you’ve gone the same way too

A brave new junta, that’s very fine of you

The greying rain covers many wounds

Of lies and dogma waged between the two

Embraced within such consuming hate,

The freedom of the other never won

Deadly rushes the firestorm

To cast aside a reason for to win

And will it take such a holocaust

To realise we’ll all get fooled again?
