chaos from within

Lyrics

cowering like settlers on someone else's land, mistaking advances of the natives, who have come to lend a hand, it's a sad and pathetic badge of shame, my friends, terror always seems to win, in the drama of human motivation, where is restraint and reason?, threat is urgent, existential, with patience wearing thin, but the danger's elemental, it's chaos from within, the fox-stained leaves of civilization, depict a stark repeat, it's always a flaw in reasoning, that fates the citizenry, when the ancestor fell from the arbor, the march of fear began, but the predator wallowed in failure, in the face of consciousness, threat is urgent, existential, time to scan the horizon, but the danger's elemental, it's chaos from within, threat is urgent, existential, omnipresent like a skin, but the danger's purely mental, it's chaos from within, chaos from within!
