THE HOLY MOUNTAIN LYRICS

"Wrath"

Another page torn from our history
Another tale of our nation’s painful growth
The savage racist actions of a populace enraged
Brought to assemble under a single blood lust
A blood lust to burn, to torture, and to mutilate
To finally and utterly destroy a fucking human being
Guilt or innocence thrown aside as vengeance intercedes
Blind vengeance that it is
The staring eyes know all too well
A victim must be claimed
The children shout and cheer
A chorus singing death’s most foul deliverance
Its celebration and perversion
The strange fruit they bear
These Trees
The burning pyres the hanging limbs left as monuments
To the cruelty and the wickedness
So easily accessible just beneath the collective mind
The brutality at the tip of every finger
A call to arms a fusillade of bullets
The judge and jury out of sight and out of mind
A pox upon us
The sadness without depth
At the bottomless void
In the soul of such an ignorant, unthinking people
Whether strung up in secret or strung up in spectacle
Under pretense of justice or with no pretense but murder
To strike fear or to lay vengeance upon a man
