Originally from the split cassette release with Van Hagar
lyrics
1000 LASHES:
The threat of thought
Silence all dissension
Parade of pain for a display of dominance
Frightened, aggressive, exposed
With every strike, resistance grows
Everyone knows your kingdom will fall
to the will of the people, blinded by rage
killing and torturing to create a sense of justice
that can never be achieved through violent means
Revenge perpetuates violent behavior
Institutionalized belief structures
have only served to enslave the poor
Shed the shackles, oppress all power
Fear enslaves and debilitates
Bleed, scar, only to imprison yourself
With every act of violent oppression you're less secure
Fear breeds hatred
