There's something going on
There's something in their eyes
There's something going down
Have you heard the cries?
Reporters calling it
The story of the year
Trying to make sales
So we all live in fear
Headlines breaking out
Alarming undertones
Intended to scare
Too naïve to know
They’re messing with our heads
With their embellishment
Sensationalizing
The significance
I have to stop listening
To the news, it's killing me
We have to stop living
In fear because of
Evil
Oh oh oh
Evil
Oh oh oh
There’s something going on
In some part of the world
There's something going down
Haven't you all heard?
Their words are animals
Waiting to break free
Attacking every sense
Of sensibility
Exclamation points
Exaggerating truth
The story’s on their side
And we all follow suit
They’re going to extremes
Twisting right to wrong
The story will be done
As a new one comes along
I have to stop listening
To the news, it's killing me
We have to stop living
In fear because of
Evil
Oh oh oh
Evil
Oh oh oh

The video for "Theurgist," from True Widow's forthcoming "Avvolgere," is as prismatic & hypnotic as the song it accompanies. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 15, 2016
