This is an anti-war, anti-terrorism, anti-nuclear statement about the futility of violence for any political purpose.
I believe that indie artists are the most creative and unique people there are. They take the most risks and there successes are the most fondly remembered.
Lyrics
THE TERRORIST
I am the terror
That awakens every now and then
In every corner of the globe,
In every sound of unjust cries,
And every heart that knows death.
Unable to distinguish
Amid the turmoil of oppressed hope
A way to obtain peace.
I am the saint I say,
I have killed for my cause;
I will again sometime soon.
My God told me so!
I do not fear death
To give it or to meet it,
Or to deliver it by mail.
My passion is my army
And I will fashion it to my headstone.
I am the terror
That stalks the lands of freedom
The towers fell at my hand.
Do you fear my wrath?
I am the terror
“…Harnessing of the power of the universe.
The force from which the sun draws it’s power
Has been loosed against those
Who bought war to the far east.”
I am the terror
That rained upon the rising sun
Leaving the cities writhing in radioactive death.
140,000 perished under little boy
While the fat man smiled upon another.
The sacrifice of innocent blood
Flows free for a purpose,
An ideology to some;
A God that is worshipped,
A politician that is mad.
To govern through fear
Admits to its world false pride
That feeds corruption and bigotry
With gluttonous zeal.
Put down the weapons of disaster
That I may not prosper.
I am the parasite of nations discourse
Crawling through the sands of time,
My means justifies my ends.
I am the bloodsucker of freedom,
I am the terror
That seeks not wisdom,
Nor peace, nor salvation of soul.
I am the terror
That seeks what is mine,
The domination of power.
A nation unto myself.
I am the terror;
You will not forget me!
