Chaos From Within lyrics

Cowering like settlers

On someone else's land

Mistaking advances of the natives

Who have come to lend a hand

It's a sad and pathetic badge of shame, my friends

Terror always seems to win

In the drama of human motivation,

Where is restraint and reason?

Threat is urgent, existential

With patience wearing thin

But the danger's elemental

It's chaos from within

The fox-stained leaves of civilization

Depict a stark repeat

There's always a flaw in the reasoning

That fates the citizenry

When the ancestor fell from the arbor

The march of fear began

But the predator wallowed in failure

In the face of consciousness

Threat is urgent, existential

Time to scan the horizon

But the danger's elemental

It's chaos from within

Threat is urgent, existential

Omnipresent, like a skin

But the danger's purely mental

It's chaos from within

Chaos from within
