John Henry Video (MV)

I'm John Henry with the mic
Freed slave from society
Hammer hand pounded words
Recorded for propriety
Sinking my iron bars deep
Keep on reminding me
In the realm of mountain kings
Pale gods rule, but cannot see
Tunnels dug deep through the quarry of the wondering
Keep striking true and pounding hammers ringing 'til the chorus sings

Hallelujah all my kindred, for soon we'll see the light
We'll see the light that shines for all our kind
For all our kind are sure to find what's free for all of us to see
For those of open mind
The open mind will see that all of us all are of a kind

Metal on metal, and bare flesh upon cold stone
Mountains shake above our heads, fearing gods that never shown
Still wedging into bedrock, disputing what is known
Impossible to overcome, tormentors breaking bones
Continue on, don't fear the rod, the end is coming close
Evil men are few and far and most of them are ghosts

Hallelujah all my kindred, for soon we'll see the light
We'll see the light that shines for all our kind
For all our kind are sure to find what's free for all of us to see
For those of open mind
The open mind will see that all of us all are of a kind

Pneumatic piston needs a new mechanic
The one they've got's an addict they keep locked up in the attic
Clearly these pale god fanatics have no thoughts
Minds enslaved by the lymphatic impulse, survive at all costs
Problem they can't solve ain't quadratic, only thematic
Of the charismatic race wash pale priests display with cinematic prowess
Devoid of a democratic process
Let us not confess to monastic pale-ists
Katabatic hate descends the mountain shaken by truth

Crack up the foundation
Break through the barrier
Melt chains into hammers
Our message has new carriers
Send it out on horseback
They'll make it, thank the ferrier
Horseshoe telegraph outgoing
Impervious to harriers
