FEARMONGER-Sochromatic
Riding through the valley where the red dust never sleeps
Found a town run dry and wilting in the heat
Windows barred with timber morthers clutching hands
Church bell ringing warnings of a war upon the land
Whispers in the alley boots on broken stone
They'll be riding in at sundown we can't face them alone
But the sheriff stood smiling with her hand upon her star
Said,''pay your share for safety I'll keep dangers where they are''
Still in the street smoke in the air
She moves past broken fences and homes laid bare
Men on the porch counting their scars
And all their hope is pinned to wishing on a star
Are you feeling scared?
Fear keeps us alive
Hold the line out there
Stand your ground and fight
Are you feeling scared?
Fear keeps us alive
Hold the line out there
Stand your ground and fight
Saw riders on the ridgeline banners in the sun
But I'd seen their tracks before and they didn't match the run
Hoofprints in a pattern rifles fired first
Residue from powder where charges burst
Found a burned down homestead just north of the creek
Sheriff's bag in the ashes where the sagebrush weeps
A treaty torn in two stained red with lies
She'd been poking at the hornet's nest
Then selling fear for alibis
You taxes these folks for bullets you were sendin' first
You stirred their anger,sheriff just to line your purse
Chairs scraped BACK
Hands dropped LOW
She reached for iron;I was faster,though
Some people live just to step on a man
Claiming the law while they poison the land
Truth in the chamber I don't need a plan
And I love the 2A,give the hammer a FAN
Why are you so scared?
Fear keeps you in line
Hope you came prepared
Stand your ground and fight
Why are you so scared?
Fear keeps you in line
Hope you came prepared
Stand your ground and fight
