Lyrics: Fascist law subsiding, terror multiplying, dance with me, preacher's not abiding, rulers coinciding, dance with me, This is the dance of America, dance to the jig of the juggernaut, yeah the jig is up, so dance with me, You're stuck right up against the wall, you're just setting yourself up for the next fall, you scoff at all those who have helped you, now see where it has left you, with no one to call, Build you ladder to the sky to stand in judgement, Now don't you see? You don't see, that you have lost at your own game, so dance with me, to the jig of the juggernaut, yeah the jig is up, Candles we are lighting, Christians are all fighting, dance with me, justice not prevailing, innocence is dying, dance with me (*Repeat chorus) You're own game you will lose, unless you look to the one, who always speaks of the truth, dare I say? "She lives in apostasy" Because you give me no choice, because you gave me the voice. Is this the land of the free and the home of the brave? Dance with me to the jig of the juggernaut, this is the dance of America, now dance with me.
*Synopsis: This song was being recorded around '02-'03 and I had an this idea for a song that I had been wanting to use since the year 2000. After 9/11 occurred, it seemed even more relevant to the times ahead. Prophetic in nature, it speaks of America's role in the world and it's evolution. Or devolution, depends on the perspective. Unofficially titled, "The Dance of America", JOTJ speaks true to America's dilemma and the over all state of mind of it's cynical collective, at times. Also, touches base on how the rest of the world perceives us.
