The Garroter lyrics

Lone hunter in the fray

Of a lonely fading light

A manifest for the garroter

Stuck to his plight

Young and elder, nevermind

Programmed mortal set lifeline

A mother says no

And father cracks a simple plan

A knife is sharpened

His children run but he'll advance

Alas, how fragile life can be

Love is strong when death foresees

Yet the story won't end here

No, oh no, oh no

Ulterior motive

The grinning face of leadership

A selfish wish to control

A nation in his grip

Strong against weak and immobilized

Secular for fascist lies

The beautiful people

Look down from ruby vantage points

While in the gutter

Starvation invites us to join

Barricades of wealthy youth

Protesting their inborn truth
