Song Information:

This one took a few weeks to develop. Originally, the first verse was two verses, but then as I started to put it to music, it seemed too sparse. I had thought I would write something more heavy & dark, but it turned into a garagey pop rock song. I had a more heavy-handed vocal style in mind, but ended up singing it in a pop voice. Then it took me two weeks to actually record it, because I got to a certain point with the basics and had to let 'em sit & marinate while I did other things -- once again I lightened them up & took most of the distortion off of the main guitar track.

Guest vocals by chimpy have been deleted in a new, much improved remix.

Song Lyrics:

The drum I hear is one black dance
We can not stop if we want to
The promise that we made is to try
But how are we to pay this bill come due?

I feel the black dance starting
And it's whirling faster and faster

We do deserve to see our times
We chose to see the world this way
The man sees the bridge come crashing down
He says he won't raise taxes, "and by the way, pray!"

I feel the black dance starting
And it's whirling faster and faster

The rhythm is changing
The dance keeps changing
We're marching to the Mississippi River

--

This war in Babylon will drag us down
Abraham's children all claiming self defense
I don't believe in God, but still I see
Satan laughs and spreads his wings to dance

I see the black dance starting
And it's whirling faster and faster

The rhythm is changing
The dance is changing
We're marching down to the Euphrates River
Then the lake of fire
The lake of fire
yeah
