[Intro: Fast acoustic Am, Wailing harmonica] [Verse 1: Am - C - G - Am] The sun shines bright on the Gold Coast sand, But a shadow's creeping across the land. Hiding in infrastructure, deep in the code, Setting up tolls on a sovereign road. I saw the photo lico's digital stare, But I drop from the head, down into the chest, Where the rhythm is true and the spirit can rest. [Chorus: F - C - G - Am - E7] 'Cause no weapon formed against shall prosper! No covenant made in the dark shall stand! I wear the shield of the righteous order, Walking with the Most High through the land. [Verse 2: Am - C - G - Am] The Octopus reaches with a velvet glove, Trying to starve out the love. From boardroom suits to the bikie crews, They target the bloodline with their deceit, But I’ve got the eight tools laid at my feet. Eight keys of righteousness, ancient and true, Cutting the chains they tied around you. [Bridge: Am - C - G - E7] [Bass enters, heavy strum] The mind and the heart are beating as one, The dark only lasts till the rise of the sun! I stand as the Steward, hands in the clay, Washing the corporate fictions away! [Chorus: F - C - G - Am - E7] 'Cause no weapon formed against shall prosper! No covenant made in the dark shall stand! I wear the shield of the righteous order, Walking with the Most High through the land. [Outro: Am - C - G - Am] Isaiah 54:17. The eight tools are set. The soil is clean. [Harmonica fades]
