Canada is in election mode. Our present Prime Minister is playing on fear and has added a racial twist to his campaign. This is a man who tells the people nothing and muzzles scientific facts.

Story behind the song
The events in this song actually happened. A crazy fellow attacked Parliament hill and almost made it into the chambers. When the first shots were heard the King was escorted and hid in a closet. A soldier was outside guarding the war memorial. Except he was guarding it with little more than himself. (he was unarmed) This crazy fellow first Murdered this soldier then entered the building where he was later shot and killed.
Lyrics
the king in canada crouching in the closet as the shots they rang out oh you know he lost it Bring me fear and hatred from the hot sands of the dessert from thr niqab and the hijab from the 30000 soldiers marching Let my people cry out let the indian madien whimper I m of much finer stuff greater than ur mother greater than your father from the tar sands to the water the price is very deadly and it will be forever and forever are your ready Crazy man came firing broke in through the garden One brave man lay dying Another man went hiding

A very accurate picture of the political world, they all seem to want power through fear rather than reasoned discussion. Excellent lyrics and great vocals.

Hey RJ, Up to your usual fine tricks, I see...telling the truth and the truth always wins!!! Insightful lyrics and truth be told, I think any politician here would do the same without hesitation, without remorse, and without a doubt gloriously repositioning on camera to their best advantage. Really liked the lyrics, the melody and the emotion poured through your vocals.....thumbs up with all the stars!!!!! Respectfully, Wade
