Art of War Lyrics by Hermitofthewoods

The Woods Are Burning

2007

[Intro – EMC]
People stand up!
[Chorus]
It’s been a long time
And now there’s nothing left to tell them
People in the street are screaming for rebellion
Tried to change minds
But now there’s nothing left to sell them
People in the street are screaming for rebellion
Its been a long time… been a long time… been a long
Its been a long time… been a long time… been a long
Been a long time and now there’s nothing left to tell them
People in the street are screaming for rebellion
[Verse 1]
Clamour by night betokens nervousness
And where the birds exist
The wind blows slowly through nothingness
The extinct twist and affix themselves
To the books of lists that sit on the shelves
Where facts compel what nobody tells the eyes of the enemy foresaw were they fell
Rush into your dreams
Sewing seeds of madness and deceit
Like the bursting of pent-up waters
Into a chasm a thousand fathoms deep
A tragic leap
Completely free of cowardice or reckless motive
The hopelessness in those who chose it
Grows and shows true focus
Framing scapegoats is the closest that they've ever come to taking blame
They drag one persons name
Through rainy gutters into drains
Proclaim the stain removed
And attitudes resume direction
Injecting daily doses of Winthropian infections
Check the Presidential corrections made whenever evidence is displayed
Runs opposite to what the Gospel says is impossible to explain
The silence is being broken - booming hearts/ drums of war
They can’t ignore us anymore the way they did before
[Chorus]
It’s been a long time
And now there’s nothing left to tell them
People in the street are screaming for rebellion
Tried to change minds
But now there’s nothing left to sell them
People in the street are screaming for rebellion
Its been a long time… been a long time… been a long
Its been a long time… been a long time… been a long
Been a long time and now there’s nothing left to tell them
People in the street are screaming for rebellion
[Verse 2]
I was forced to flee entangling ground as it got scarier
Fuck America
I’m tired of finding flaws in its crippled character
The whole area got perverted
So I deserted the tech sector
To lecture on the effects of exceptionalist ethics on the record
Mic checker with a fist in the sky for the doomed spies
Blowing lies and alibis to undermine the masterminds
This is five to one, baby, one in five
Sun Tzu says to attack and nobody gets out alive
They’re sick and spend their time singing to sticks for forgiveness
And still insist on sticking their dicks in peoples business
I’ve witnessed these Conservatives
Murder kids to insure their bids
Convinced they don’t deserve to live
Concerned? Yeah, that’s affirmative
Burn the bridge! Let them go
They thought they could direct the stage
But their script drips atavistic catalysts from every page
The silence is being broken - booming hearts/ drums of war
They can’t ignore us anymore the way they did before, cause
[Chorus]
It’s been a long time
And now there’s nothing left to tell them
People in the street are screaming for rebellion
Tried to change minds
But now there’s nothing left to sell them
People in the street are screaming for rebellion
Its been a long time… been a long time… been a long
Its been a long time… been a long time… been a long
Been a long time and now there’s nothing left to tell them
People in the street are screaming for rebellion
[Outro – EMC]
Come on!
