Draconian Crackdown

A tragic demonstration

Of brazen insubordination

By indigenous insurgents, belligerents, degenerates

Imagine my bewilderment at the conspicuous dismemberment

Of all that i had believed

At how we had all been deceived

(It was short, sharp, sudden, surprising

Short, sharp...)

It was unfathomable catastrophe

There were things no one should ever see

Arrests were made arbitrarily

Evacuations made mandatory

Indefinite detentions, insolvable killings

Weeks and weeks of agonizing raids

Relentless, unexplained physical attacks

(Gout, goiters, plague, anthrax)

New and unconventional threats

Simultaneously secretive and violent events

Oh, what have they done

But there's no fun to a draconian crackdown

And what will do when they come for you

In the draconian crackdown

Yes sir, i say no sir, and then

Yes sir, i say no sir, then

Something's wrong

Oh very very wrong here

The chaotic nature of the soured atmosphere

We have found ourselves participants in the nightmare

I took the blame, the hatred, and with certainty

I said, "I now declare a state of emergency

With immediate effect indefinitely"

I looked

I plotted

And I planned, from here

A fearful, vicious, secret no-man's land

I looked

I plotted

And I planned, from here

A fearful, vicious, secret no-man's land

Oh, what have they done

But there's no fun to a draconian crackdown

So what will do when they come for you

In the draconian crackdown

Oh, what will you do

In the draconian crackdown

Spectacular suicide explosions

Of enemies significantly weaker than a year ago

And their influence continues to wade
