Cities In Flames (Fear)

(The Wrath and The Fear)  

Consuming flames, of molotov cocktails, are borne from latent embers  
Inside the burning metropolises will be the skulking anarchist pretenders  
The renegade brigades, with their middle fingers raised, will run amok  
It might be their time tomorrow to worry and intimidate the placid flock  
Ending the days of law and order, they'll hide under the hood and mask  
Self-righteous firebrands, fanning wrath and fear, is their egocentric task  
In tomorrow's hours their movement will stake their unfounded claims  
Nothing will be left to loot though, in the toxic waste of cities in flames  
Fanatics of the delusional will reign when the modern civilisations fall  
Leaving only ruins and bedlam, for we will have lost the urban sprawl  
And nothing will stop their ravaging revolution; for the fire is stoked  
Marauding in herds, when the lighters ignite rags, in kerosene soaked  
Eerily quiet for now, but perhaps tomorrow we will be under attack  
Somewhere, out there, are the anarchist arsonists readying to sack
