lyrics

Don’t underestimate the power of history
Corruption of thought hidden in plain sight
Let the vulnerable believe in a mystery
take them away in the dead of the night

We are the shield and the sword of the party
Without us there is no state –
We are the shield and the sword of the party
Taking away your choice, your fate

The sons of the men who ruled the land
Wear inside out there father’s suits
So you won’t see the blood on their at hands
You have to pull the plant at its roots

We are the shield and the sword of the party
1 in 200 are in our pay –
Without us there is no revolution
With us you won’t get a say

Giving power to the true believers
Even if they have no talent or skill
Mediocre men are the most dangerous kind
Whatever else they do, they soon learn to kill

We are the shield and the sword of the party,
Burning our records as the mob descends
We are the shield and the sword of the party
Some of us are your friends

Don’t underestimate the power of history
Corruption of thought hidden in plain sight
Let the vulnerable believe in a mystery
take them away in the dead of the night

We are the shield and the sword of the party
Without us there is no state –
We are the shield and the sword of the party
Taking away your choice, take away your fate

We are the shield and the sword of the party
1 in 200 are in our pay –
Without us there is no revolution
With us you won’t get a say
