This song just came up on my random playlist, and I think it's very pertinent to our current situation.
Rush "Witch Hunt"
The night is black Without a moon The air is thick and still The vigilantes gather on The lonely torch lit hill
Features distorted in the flickering light The faces are twisted and grotesque Silent and stern in the sweltering night The mob moves like demons possessed Quiet in conscience, calm in their right Confident their ways are best
The righteous rise With burning eyes Of hatred and ill-will Madmen fed on fear and lies To beat and burn and kill
They say there are strangers who threaten us In our immigrants and infidels They say there is strangeness too dangerous In our theaters and bookstore shelves That those who know what's best for us Must rise and save us from ourselves
Quick to judge Quick to anger Slow to understand Ignorance and prejudice And fear walk hand in hand...
It's one of my favorite songs from Rush; I can't believe I didn't think of it earlier.
