First Blood - Fascism lyrics

To shut an open society to no uncertain fate An end result of the merging of the corporation And the state... Bleeding us... Bleeding us to d**h With no one to turn to and nowhere to run Hold on tight because the worst is yet to come Create the threat... a terrifying act of violence Control the press... to program ma** compliance Empower the police, soldiers patrol the streets Random detention and release target activists and put them on a list One day we'll all be terrorists As we descend... To the depths As we descend... Of the past As we descend... To the next chapter of fascism now ... and they start coming for you First they came for the outcasts and I didn't speak Because their reasons for fighting I just would not believe Then they sent us to war and still I didn't speak As all these people were dying based on lies and deceit Then they shut down the protests, limit freedom of speech Does anyone even notice when history repeats? With no one left to keep fighting, you ask, "What can I do?" When no one's left to speak up and they start coming for you
