Jonestown Lyrics


A power above all

The Peoples Temple

Will they hear our call?

Mass suicide

A swollen, glowing sun

Mounts the top of the sky

One hundred men of Jonestown

Choose a willing goodbye

Hunted by destiny

Leaving life behind

Headed for eternal peace

Guided by the cyanide

Revolutionary suicide

Killing in the name of pride

Salvation through elimination

End of free will

Wiped out by mental force

Not knowing still

How to choose their course

A swollen, glowing sun

Bakes the dying ground

One hundred men of Jonestown

Stare blindly to the sky

Hunted by destiny

Leaving life behind

Headed for eternal peace

Guided by the cyanide

Revolutionary suicide

Killing in the name of pride

Salvation through elimination

Promise of enlightenment

Saying Eden awaits

But their souls still wander

Catastrophic ending

A toxic tomb of madness

Misled humans

Fooled to their own grave
