[Verse 1]
Driving down blistered severe
The rapacious maw of our despair
Black dog follows, strip club echoes
The raven's shadow across the ghetto
Up the hill in an unmarked grave
The mother of American darkness lays
Liberty or death to start the battle
There's nonesuch place for human chattel
[Chorus]
Hanging by a threat
Now you can choke on it
Hanging by a threat
So go and choke on it
This is a reckoning
You hear the raven's scream
Hanging by a threat

As tear gas cloaks the monumental
[Chorus]
Hanging by a threat
Now you can choke on it
Hanging by a threat
So go and choke on it

Hanging by a threat
So go and choke on it

Chained beneath a parking lot
Savaged on the auction block
In antebellum geography

[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Hanging by a threat
Now you can choke on it
Hanging by a threat
So go and choke on it
This is a reckoning
You hear the raven's scream
Hanging by a threat
So go and choke on it
