We needed warming from the cold hard facts Unheeded warnings bout the broken tracks All hope is fading, it's not coming back again Uniting forces may be calling fast Changing courses to some Stalin past Melting faces through the looking glass, my friend Something's got a hold of our feel alright Out of control in the appetite We're moving into the perilous night, Amen Amen Dumb, white and angry with their cup half filled Running over people down in Charlottesville White House Fury, it's the killing side, he defends Defend the up-ender, yes he played that tune It ain't the ending but it's coming soon We're making love beneath a sputnik moon again White House is glowing from the Red Square light The gates at the border being slammed down tight We're moving into the perilous night, my friend Something's got a hold of our feel alright Out of control in the appetite We're moving into the perilous night, Amen Amen And why's that drone looking through my window? World keeps turning in the torch light shadow Fourth Reich in khakis is beckoning Both ends burning to the reckoning Ronnie Reagan must be spinning his grave Putin's on the rise, Ukraine's under siege Fascism's knocking and Trump says "Let them in" I'd like to tell you there'll be better days But optimism's running low today We're off the deep end with a lifeguard that can't swim The Klan and the Nazis are taking up the fight Against their own salvation in the saviors light We're moving into the perilous night, Amen Flags of oppression are blocking out the light Dismantling The Greatest Generation's fight We're moving into the perilous night, Amen Amen Amen
