Blackest Night Lyrics by Set To Stun

SET TO STUN and The Desperado Undead

2015

The streets run red with blood tonight in the capital city of the confederation
As government officials and armed forces clash with the militant rebel phalanx
And subsidiaries of a man known only as “The Judicator”
Marching under a red flag of rebellion
These self-entitled “Protectors” promise to usher in a new era
Of peace and equality free from the tyranny and oppression of the government
And a crimelord syndicate that police our streets at night
Are these men the answers to our prayers?
Have they been sent to deliver us from the Bodysnatcher epidemic?
Or will their sacrifice be in vain?
How many more will die tonight?
Do I strike you as an individual
Who would cower at the presence
Of an entity as primitive and primordial as fear?
Whimper, like a dog
As he scurries from his master's heel
The power of fear is a disparaging force to be reckoned with
But the power of belief is stronger still...
Do you think that this is what I wanted?
Do you think that this is what I had planned out for my life?
To be set on all sides by violence and suffering?
I never asked to be chosen, and I never wanted any of this!
And not a single second goes by that I don't think about my daughter
Or my son
Or the life I left behind
Nor am I blind to the suffering that they would endure
At the hands of my enemies, for the sins or their father
But I can't help but to think
Of the men, and the women and children
Bedding down in the slums tonight
Huddled, behind locked doors
Seeking nothing but refuge, from the venomous villainy
That would seek to devour the blood of their innocence
And whilst the powers that be, cower
Behind their legislation and the litigation
Whilst paying homage to a temple of currency
Founded on corruption and greed!
I can be that man!
I can carry that cross and I can lead these men
I can bang the drums of war
And bring the temple crashing down upon their heads
This is so much more than me
This is about more than what I want
Or any one man can want
This is bigger than my family
This is about the preservation of life
And there can be nothing more important
History will remember me as a revolutionary of madness
A titan, hellbent on the bloodshed of his people
But I know what I’m fighting for
