Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Driving down blistered severe
The rapacious maw of our despair
Black dog follows, strip club echoes
The raven's shadow across the ghetto
[Verse 2]
Up the hill in an unmarked grave
The mother of American darkness lays
Liberty or death to start the battle
There's nonesuch place for human chattel
[Verse 3]
Hanging by a threat
Now you can choke on it
Hanging by a threat
So go and choke on it
This is a reckoning
You hear the ravens scream
Hanging by a threat
So go and choke on it
[Verse 4]
Across the devil's own half acre
There's rusted gallows for an angel
The ghosts that built this city scream
Of commerce and inhumanity
[Verse 5]
Cancer rides the freeway's edge
Falling statues and cigarettes
Bullets whip the screaming kettle
As teargas cloaks the monumental
[Verse 6]
Hanging by a threat
Now you can choke on it
Hanging by a threat
So go and choke on it
This is a reckoning
You hear the ravens scream
Hanging by a threat
So go and choke on it
[Verse 7]
Chained beneath a parking lot
Savaged on the auction block
In antebellum geography
Rage, horror, history
[Verse 8]
Hanging by a threat
Now you can choke on it
Hanging by a threat
So go and choke on it
This is a reckoning
You hear the ravens scream
Hanging by a threat
So go and choke on it
[Verse 9]
Nevermore
Nevermore
