    marching, all together, all in sin
    marching to a battle we can't win
    the enemy we fear imposed on innocents in sight
    the enemy we fear comes from within

    terrified of pain and anguish, spirit wearing thin
    terrified of what will now begin
    the enemy we fear is not the enemy we fight
    the enemy we fear comes from within

    some of us take solace in unparalleled futility
    some of us take solace in the jar
    some of us are radiating infinite hostility
    some of us are happy as we are

    some of us, once pacifist, have turned against our ways
    some of us, once warlike, turned to foam
    some of us have been prepared and bloodthirsty for days
    some of us just want to go back home

    it's pitiful, it's angry, it's cathartic, it's a curse
    irresistible, unstoppable, perverse
    there's a part that's still resisting but it's drowning in the lie
    we are twitching in the dirt before we die
    toats a colons joint
