lyrics

They taunt change
The fear of unknown sound
It’s on display
As it comes back, comes back around
Another time

War-bolstered walls
Architects of the deranged
There’s never common ground

It’s all punching down
With tyrannous aspirations
Asp-tongued, viper-brained

So tightly wound
Victims of coordination
Evolutionary casualty

War-bolstered walls
Architects of diversionary dated dreams
Where they all knew their place

They're so tightly wound
Victims of coordination
Evolutionary casualty

It’s all punching down
With tyrannous aspirations
Asp-tongued, viper-brained

They taunt change
For fear of change
