a failure of courage

this is the hammer of an angry force
we see ourselves reflected in the night
and now we are obliged to change our course

life it turns out is traded on the bourse
it's value is no more than an old rite
this is the hammer or an angry force

there is not anything we won't endorse
if we are given our full share of might
and now we are obliged to change our course

in the dark sky we watch the angry horse
trample the ones we once thought strong and bright
this is the hammer of an angry force

we have lost our connection to the source
of honest power and decency and right
and now we are obliged to change our course

now justice has impelled us to divorce
ourselves from history and from the light
this is the hammer of an angry force
and now we are obliged to change our course
