Fearmonger by Beyond Grace Lyrics
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
Thеy lit the match and fanned the flamеs
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
Until 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
We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty
We must remember always that accusation is not proof
Conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law
We will not walk in fear, one of another
We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason
If we dig deep in our history and our doctrine
And remember that we are not descended from fearful men
Carefully constructing their illusions
To feed the mass delusion
With subtle sleight of hand and clever misdirection
They conceal their true intentions till 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
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
Thеy lit the match and fanned the flamеs
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
