First Blood Fascism lyrics

To shut an open society to no uncertain fate<br />
An end result of the merging of the corporation and the state<br />
<br />
Bleeding us, bleeding us to death<br />
With no one to turn to and nowhere to run<br />
Hold on tight because the worst is yet to come<br />
<br />
Create the threat, a terrifying act of violence<br />
Control the press to program mass compliance<br />
<br />
Empower the police, soldiers patrol the streets<br />
Random detention and release<br />
Target activists and put them on a list<br />
One day we'll all be terrorists<br />
<br />
As we descend to the depths<br />

As we descend of the past<br />
As we descend to the next chapter of fascism now<br />
And they start coming for you<br />
<br />
First they came for the outcasts and I didn't speak<br />
Because their reasons for fighting I just would not believe<br />
Then they sent us to war and still I didn't speak<br />
As all these people were dying based on lies and deceit<br />
<br />
Then they shut down the protests, limit freedom of speech<br />
Does anyone even notice when history repeats?<br />
With no one left to keep fighting you ask, "What can I do?"<br />
When no one's left to speak up and they start coming for you
