about

This song’s meant to be a plea for action and a call for sanity - and definitely not a call to arms...

lyrics

Vaulting huge breakers, once brilliantly blue
Blistering tempests blast, blazing through you
Lost in blind veneration, ignoring generations’ truth
When they crawl from the woodwork
Hit the lights! They don’t go?
Well, we’ve come this far and we’re bigger than they are, and we’re not going away…

Welcome to our worst nightmare song
You think you’re right – we know your hatred’s wrong
We’ll continue to fight for everything we’ve fought for thus far, so you can forget it!
Yeah, welcome to our worst nightmare song
You’re words are trite – your ideology’s worn
We’ll continue to fight for everything we’ve fought for and then some, and never regret it

Fake allegations, corrupt servitude
Abandoned ethics that don’t work for you
You scream for fire and brimstone – the fate of evil awaits you
Well, we’ve been down this road so slink back to your hiding hole
‘cause we won’t surrender the day

Yeah, welcome to your worst nightmare song
You think you’re right – we know your hatred’s wrong
We’ll continue to fight for everything we’ve fought for and then some…

Every day, bullets fly – your thoughts and prayers don’t indemnify you
How many children should die for the axioms and dogma you hold true?
Everywhere, bodies lie… wake up, stand up; act for the perished
Not one more life to pay for your zeit-geist!

Welcome to your worst nightmare song
You think you’re right – we know your hatred’s wrong
We’ll continue to fight for everything we’ve fought for this far, so you can forget it!
Yeah, welcome to your worst nightmare song
You’re words are trite – your ideology’s worn
We’ll continue to fight for everything we’ve fought for and then some, and never regret it
Yeah, welcome to your worst nightmare song
You’re words are trite – your ideology’s worn
We’ll continue to fight for everything we’ve fought for, and then some…
