They're hunting me every day.
Looming threat on the horizon.
Predator try and make me pray.
Looming threat on the horizon.
May I gain the horror's grace?
Looming threat on the horizon.
Now I see the devil's face.
Looming threat on the horizon.

Sharp teeth. Eyes red.
Will you join the glorious dead?
Will you see fit to help deplete this land
For elites' demand for completeness?
Weak stomach. Coward's strategy
On the back of the power's chastity.
Last longer in your fast lane fantasy
But they won't let you go on longer than you have to be

Useful. I saw the superficial and I wanted to embrace it.
Useful. Temporary safety disguised as the faceless.

Gun to your head now it's time for your discrete example.
Congregation cheers for a bullet in defeated temples.
Ernst Röhm, Maricón, Roy Cohn, knives out.
Long blades shave, turn your insides wide out.

Mortgage you future for five years of opulence
Knowing you're betrayed by the prophecy's confidence.
Is the extra year of life before the laying of the knife worth indignity?
The time bomb of providence?

Useful. A little more time getting coddled by the predator.
Useful. You aren't like me. You're only a competitor.

All the sights. All the smells. 
All the people meaning well.
Say you act like you should once
You're one of the good ones.
You make an enormous
Pathetic performance.
The normative chorus
Endorsing the torments.

Take a finger off. Crowd shouts "more."
Take your arm off. Crowd shouts "more."
They see your blood and they call you "whore."
This is the life you bargained for.

Take your legs and your eyes and your mouth and your 
Senses out from the real of doubt.
It's the final route. It's the fate of the unethical.
Your soul is more than merely hypothetical.

Might be too weak to hear it
But that's the sound of your putrid spirit.
Its whimpering, hoarse and desiccated.
Its source cut off when your force is domesticated.

Looming Threat On The Horizon

Back in maybe 2007, I got way too mixed up in fighting with some terrible nerd rappers on the internet about whether they should make light of sexual assault or be racist dickheads.  My position was, and remains, that they should not.

One of them was really ticked off though at my intolerance, and actually recorded himself rapping over a sample from Tori Amos's "Me And A Gun."  You may or may not know that that song is a chilling retelling of a time she was actually assaulted in her car after a show.  I don't think it's funny.

So I teamed up with DJ Snyder, the guy who provides amazing scratches for MC Frontalot, and made this song in response.  I hope it made the dude feel bad, but even if it didn't, I hope it said to anyone else who may have heard it that he's a twerp for what he did and I want survivors to get more respect than that.

And nerds who don't like it are creeps.
