THE HOLY MOUNTAIN LYRICS

"Re-construction"

As if one hundred years had never happened
We return to the carnage and killing of another time
We return to darker days
When black lives were cheap and the modicum of protection that being property offered
Had been replaced by indiscriminate violence
The unchallenged killing of freed men used to re-assert the southern whites’ cultural dominance
Now present day
The lower class takes the bait
The lower class divided and conquered
Identity politics to poison the small minded
So eager to build on our differences and blind to our enemies
What we all have in common
The disenchanted and dispossessed run through a ruined system
A system that rehabilitates no one but further divides and further conquers
Only within those whom the dead and dreamless take root could an aberration so exist
A return to the lawless bloody shame of our heritage
When justice burned men alive
When civilized men claimed souvenirs of flesh
And “persons unknown” took life with impunity
