This lyric is for Jerry Falwell who died today, May 15, 2007 - The world has one less Religious Terrorist. Click here to see the real Jerry Falwell.

This is a song by Rush. The boy's have released a new album called Snakes & Arrows. I probably could have picked several songs from this album to dedicate to JF but decided Witch Hunt is perfect. I'm seeing Rush in September, for the first time in 20+ years and they are playing this song. This will be the longest summer of my life!



Witch Hunt

The night is black
Without a moon
The air is thick and still
The vigilantes gather on
The lonely torch lit hill

Features distorted in the flickering light
The faces are twisted and grotesque
Silent and stern in the sweltering night
The mob moves like demons possessed
Quiet in conscience, calm in their right
Confident their ways are best

The righteous rise
With burning eyes
Of hatred and ill-will
Madmen fed on fear and lies
To beat and burn and kill

They say there are strangers who threaten us
In our immigrants and infidels
They say there is strangeness too dangerous
In our theaters and bookstore shelves
That those who know what's best for us
Must rise and save us from ourselves

Quick to judge
Quick to anger
Slow to understand
Ignorance and prejudice
And fear walk hand in hand...

Neil Peart - Rush

I'm BC and I'll be Smiling Knowing That Asshole is Rotting in the Ground...
