The Fury of the Anacostia Songtext
von A Sound of Thunder

Twisting vines
From the depths of the river
Reaching through sewage
Thick with age
Amber eyes scanning skies to deliver
The vengeance of Earth
And its boundless rage

200 years of waste and pollution
Cast to the waters to drown
Not even smallpox or typhoid
The great retribution
Could stop the filth from raining down

Did man think he could smother the spirit?
The river breathes with the soul of the Earth
Revenge made flesh from the depths of corruption
The fury of the Anacostia

Putrification
Fetid waters bubbling
Acidic footsteps dissolving the road


Feasting on refuse
Who blindly serve the masters
Carrion trail left by all who oppose

Did man think he could smother the spirit?
The river lives and breathes with the soul of the Earth
Revenge made flesh from the depths of corruption
The fury of the Anacostia

Ah-ah-ah-ah
Whoa-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Did man think he could smother the spirit?
The river breathes with the soul of the Earth
Revenge made flesh from the depths of corruption
The fury of the Anacostia

Into the maw
The creature devours
The range disease that gnaws on his pain
Swallow the bones, the meat and the power
Until his water runs clear again

Until his water runs clear again
