[Verse 1]
             
Cowering like 

            
settlers on so

Mistaking adva

            
nces of the na

tives
             
Who have come 

        
to lend a hand
             
It's a sad and

             
 pathetic badg

      
e of shame, my

 friends
             
Terror always 

        
seems to win
             
In the drama o

tion
             
Where is restr

[Chorus]
             
Threat is urge

With patience 

        
wearing thin
             
But the danger

           
's elemental
             
It's chaos fro

[Verse 2]

Depict a stark

    
 repeat
             
It's always a 

        
flaw in reason

ing
             
That fates the

       
 citizenry
             
When the ances

             
tor fell from 

    
the arbor
            
The march of f

But the predat

In the face of

Time to scan t

But the danger

It's chaos fro
