The Fire-eaters

A million men lie awake at night
Burning with angry fire
Probing the system for a weakness
Through which they may escape
This living tomb

The contact is being made
In stealth on the astral plane
By the human brain transmitter
To ears that can hear
And listen

The force that made us strong
Has lost its center
The womb that nurtured our youth
is now hushing an alien

Working man, do you know
What your toil and sweat is feeding?
White man, do you sense the lie
That your children are being told?

There is a bewitchment
Smell the foul air stagnant spew
Sizzling the brain like a poison drug
The alien has alienated you

Remember the magic of your fathers
and their love of war
reach for the old steel
Seek out your brothers

I will tell you the truth
If you will come to where
the water falls
On a shining plateau above
We will build a bonfire

I will tell you the old tales again
Then we shall eat the fire together
And then run down into the valley
To drive away
The Shadow of Death
