lyrics

Alternating Currents / RM Isaiah

Born into a storm,
Idle hands and fire arms
River’s running backwards
Now again

Came to understand,
Power grids and pyramids,
Moving all the clouds
Around again

They were digging a hole
For so long,
Now they’re building
A wall around it

They sell alternating currents
To the uninitiated,
Build bunkers for the bankers,
And more prisons for the citizens

They buy churches on the side,
And don’t believe in paying taxes,
They hide an obelisk
Inside of every crucifix

Raised on stolen land,
Bought and sold by hidden hands,
She’s coming round the mountain
When she comes,
Riding six white horses
When she comes

They were digging a hole
For so long,
Now they’re building
A wall around it
