lyrics
Featherfist
Welcome to the dawn of a nation state.
An ascent hard-won with toil.
More than sun beats down on a weary back,
Fettered blood in a Southern soil.
But the songs in the night on an old guitar,
Sang of Exodus following a Northern Star.
Freedom found a way in a “railway car”.
And the nights incensed with rage.
Red, White, and Blue with Stars and Bars.
We built this Commonwealth on scars.
Insomnia laments Original Sin.
Cuz once you’re woke, you’ll never fall asleep again.
With a fist like a feather, man, we don’t need no underground…
Fist like a feather, man, we don’t need no underground…
Welcome to the changing of the guard,
Postulate to no avail.
All the guns in the world don’t mean a thing,
When the hands that hold them fail.
And the songs played out to the setting sun,
A defiant middle finger to the Chosen Ones.
When the Red Sea falls, your time is done.
Then we’ll write a brand new page.
Red, White, and Blue with Stripes and Stars.
Hard lessons learned from hard-earned scars.
The Sleepless Ones won’t need a browbeating to win.
Cuz once you’re woke, you’ll never fall asleep again.
With a fist like a feather, man, we don’t need no underground…
Fist like a feather, man, we don’t need no underground…
Fist like a feather…
Welcome to the dawn of a nation state.
An ascent hard-won with toil.
More than sun beats down on a weary back,
Fettered blood in a Southern soil.
But the songs in the night on an old guitar,
Sang of Exodus following a Northern Star.
Freedom found a way in a “railway car”.
And the nights incensed with rage.
Red, White, and Blue with Stars and Bars.
We built this Commonwealth on scars.
Insomnia laments Original Sin.
Cuz once you’re woke, you’ll never fall asleep again.
With a fist like a feather, man, we don’t need no underground…
Fist like a feather, man, we don’t need no underground…
Welcome to the changing of the guard,

All the guns in the world don’t mean a thing,

A defiant middle finger to the Chosen Ones.

Fist like a feather, man, we don’t need no underground…
Fist like a feather…
