lyrics

1. They Shall Not Pass

Got my ticket to the riot
It’s time to make a stand
I don’t like it – it’s too quiet
In my restless native land
I’ve got some reservations
I’ve got a lot of doubt
I’ve got my invitation
But all I want is… out

We seek redemption
In a line of minor thirds
An anthem as we raise our banners high
To fight the tyrants
In a senseless war of words
We raise the red and black flag to the sky

Our bitter foes’
Unholy mass
The dogs of war
They shall not pass
They burn the books
They cut the line
They shut the door
And close their minds

Do not be afraid
In the Night of Broken Glass
Build up the barricade
They shall not pass

Got a scripture for the rapture
A rupture of the mind
A rotten exegesis
I cannot get behind
The suckers and the losers
With the angels on their side
Follow ayatollahs
To useless suicide

We seek transcendence
Addicted to the sound
Those sweet endorphins take us high
Hymns of revolution
Lift us from the ground
And we raise the red and black flag to the sky

The open book
The open line
The open door
The open mind
The open road
Is here at last
The dogs of war
They shall not pass
