Velvet Tongue is a single off Harriers of Discord's 6th album, Plague of the Planet. It's a long journey about the state of the world, it's politics and religious beliefs.

Lyrics
Well did you hear about the stakes?
A real rat race.
With little tiny bits of poverty impregnating the place-
And there's a world
...Of dried bloodshed
We scream VIVA LA REVOLUTION under flags over our beds
And there's a Sea
...With some debris
But I can't control the cluster of the garbage we conceive
So take a hint
The System's fine
It's just these convoluted tidings that's exploiting our lies
But don't forget my velvet tongue...
Can you believe El President
Is just a guy
It just so happens that I love the way he always speaks his mind
And from the rich
To poverty
The only complaint that I have's how close the bottom is to me
And you have earned it!
Your trusting fund
We'll be invalidating socialism from a loaded gun
And at the edge
Of our decline
I'll prove there's more than ice encompassing my sick and twisted mind!
But don't forget my velvet tongue...
