The Romance of Resistance
Crackling by Mountain Firesides,
So appealing from a distance
Out of shot where safety bides.
Not the subterranean torture cell,
The Holiday Inn or Stadium,
Not the flaming Halls of Hell
Not our friends? No, no, not them.
No Pasaran, No Jashari
They Pledge allegiance free from Arms
“Oh look, oh look, oh look at me”
They fuel the flames but do no harm?
In the back room pulling teeth
Beating soles with copper pipe,
That’s fake news. Well that’s their belief
Between the lines you’ll sense the hype.
Their enemy’s enemy, are Angels all,
Free reign to loose their lightening strikes.
Then when it’s done they’ll let them fall
And conjure new friends into their sights.
