Lyrics

The Coming of the Night (partial capo on 2nd fret 5,4,3)

E Dsus2,b9
When the door is closed and the cameras off,
A E5
Voices are still kept low.
Their lawyers say not to worry,
But the Press would sure like to know.

It’s hard to prove collusion
Without a snitch in the room.
It is a matter of business as usual
And the money that buys silence comes in soon.

Chorus
B11 A
With money comes the power and might.
With money comes favors Left and Right.
With money comes the shortening of sight.
G6 A2 E5
And they can’t see the coming of the Night.

Twilight’s been stalking America
Since Trickle Down Economics came.
Hiding all that money under the table
And the shell game of illicit gain.

The Night rides in on a hurricane.
It rides in on the fires.
The Night rides in on the arm bands,
And the warheads of desire.
Chorus

There are loopholes for every tax owed.
Insider trading, and money laundering
Cash crops don’t fight world hunger,
But the American Eagle grins.

A billion is a thousand million
Or a million a day for nearly three years.
While paychecks buy less and less.
Hungry children cry their tears.
Chorus


A Shadow creeps on social media.
It is bolder than ever before.
With the constant lies and personal attacks,
It is darker than ever before.

One nation under wealth,
Safe money in banks overseas.
They cannot see the tide covering their shoes.
They cannot see the ax in the tree.
Chorus
