Flamethrower - Attica! Attica! video free download

the 12th and final track from Dead Skin Dried Blood, 2007.

LYRICS:

Wash the dried blood from these strings

So I can close this one pristine

Ohh, now let me summarize the theme

On the platform a guitar case hiding old rhymes

A pillow for one more assassin killing time

But wanting more than bouncing back and forth on jersey transit lines

He strums a chord so that the bored commuter throng

..Can hear his song

Ohh, these bastards drove the world to dystopian hell

And we're just waiting for the next train

The newsstands never offer the obvious news

That our carnage is coming back our way

So I will fill up each lung with napalm and nitrogen

because I'm ready to march up to the battlefields today

And my tongue will be the flame

That torches their campaign

Oh yes, it will be one great afternoon

Hell yes, it will be one great afternoon

When my words can pacify a whole platoon

We've all gone insane

Riding on this runaway train

Hurtling us towards a dark, dark age

Where war and famine rage

without end until we all are gone

The smell of fresh-cut lawns

Mixing with fear that's where denial breeds

Because the suffering isn't out on their own street

That's where I - freak out!

I'm right in their faces and I - scream loud!

We cannot sustain this, our future is on the line

And we must fight to survive

And I'll shout this as I ride

Like revere on the masspike

And I'll find out what my voice can do
