BLACK SEPTEMBER

1. UNDER THE RISING

This Day brings pain sorrow and suffering
Cold earth rises to make life frail
The land rusts and turns to crimson
Masses prepare for the harvest

Bitter winds blow frozen
Light recedes behind
Trees shed their life
The valley recedes to darkness

Frozen air brings silence
Cold light breaks shades of ash
The earth withers to slumber
Man devours the earth

Bound to the earth carved in stone
Blood rises from the roots of the forest

2. SMOKE PIGS

Please calm down with all the violent rhetoric. Some people who put on a badge are just trying to help people - just trying to do some good. My dad, mom, uncle, aunt, brother, sister, son, daughter is a cop. I don't want to hear another word about bribery. I don't want to hear about racial profiling, broken bones, or prison rape - or another unarmed kid filled from head to toe with fifty government-issued bullets. There is a fundamental flaw in your desire. There is a psychological deficiency in policing others. Those who maintain a structure of unjust laws, those who bow to the province of the few, those who would coerce others under the implicit threat of violent subjugation - your reign is at an end. When they attack in the name of the law, we will retaliate in the name of liberty.
