There is nothing else to fear
Nothing else to fear but fear itself

So why do we still listen to the lies that they tell us
The sickness that they try to sell us
The countless ways that they coerce us and compel us
By spreading discord and division, all to serve their own ambition

Divided we are conquered
Easy pickings for the vultures
Preying on our paranoia
For their own gain

Rumour, slander, spreading fear and propaganda
They lit the match and fanned the flames, and now the world is burning

A mindless conflagration, of manufactured rage
Bloody libel spilling out on every single spiteful page

They fill their pens with poison
And wield their words like weapons
Callous comments cutting deeper
Leaving wounds to weep and fester
They try to hide, their venom deep inside
Locked behind a crooked smile that doesn’t reach their eyes

Straw men and paper tigers
Leave no trace but burn much brighter
Blinding us with smoke and mirrors
While they make their plans

Distract, dissemble and deny
Distort the facts, defend the lie
Obfuscate, obstruct, obscure
‘til there’s nothing left but…

Rumour, slander, spreading fear and propaganda
They lit the match and fanned the flames, and now the world is burning
Liars, conspire, to set it all ablaze
With twitching tongues and tapping fingers, they dig our common grave

Carefully constructing their illusions, to feed the mass delusion
With subtle sleight of hand and clever misdirection
They conceal their true intentions, ‘til it’s far too late
Fabricating fact from fiction, turning villains into victims

Rumour, slander, spreading fear and propaganda
They lit the match and fanned the flames, and now the world is burning
Liars, conspire, to set it all ablaze
With twitching tongues and tapping fingers, they dig our common grave

They dig our common grave
They dig our common grave
They dig our common grave
