Sick Of It All

Black Venom

Here they come spewing hate
Warning of a terrible fate
Lies to sway your aggression
Quickly grab your attention
Find a scapegoat in your fears
Tell you what you want to hear
Pick a target, ostracize them
Paint them as your biggest problem
Poison our minds
The venom is flowing
Poison our lives
The power is growing
Blinding our sight
As they prey on
Our darkest fear
Preachers and clerics play this game
Twisting worlds of peace to hate
Pick a target, ostracize them
Fool the people to despise them
Poison our minds
The venom is flowing
Poison our lives
The power is growing
Blinding our sight
As they prey on
Our darkest fear
The black venom
That drips from your tongue
Poisons the mind of the ignorant
They soak it up like a sponge
Those marked as scapegoats
Will suffer the wrath
Which plants the seed of anger and
The lust for revenge
The black venom
Will seal our fate
And leave us drowning in a
World of fear and pain
