Termites

The Communists as termites
Work in darkness underground
Impelled by some dark motive
A conspiracy profound
With fanatic dedication
They work while others sleep
Until the structure totters and
Collapses in a heap

Their strength is in their patience
A little at a time
Who'd think so small an insect
Could cause so great a crime?

Because their work is hidden
Some say they don't exist
While others write the danger
Quite heedless of their list
So blissfully indifferent
As blind as blind can be
They welcome grim disaster
And embrace catastrophe

As the snake ensnares the rabbit
In some hypnotic gloom
Some subtle soul paralysis
Draws millions to their doom
With ardent assurance
This challenge they have hurled
That no one can prevent them
From conquering the world

In nation after nation
And here within our own
These hidden termites labor 'til
The country's overthrown

They hide their devilish purpose
With trickery and wiles
They mask their murderous malice
With innocence and smiles

Disregard this hidden danger
Neglect this plague today
And some tomorrow morning
Your world will melt away

We can survive, my brother
In times of fear like these
We must protect our freedom
Against our enemies
Reveal the hidden danger
For everyone to see
With knowledge and devotion
We'll save our liberty

With knowledge and devotion
We'll save our liberty
