about

"The pariah stands with fire in hand
Eyes ablaze, fixated on the edifice of a ruinous oligarchy
Empowered amongst dissenting masses
Embers sent aloft, igniting the flames of rebirth"

Peering down from every angle
From their gilded towers
Rulers we never chose
That veil, in obscurity

Watching the world with contemptuous eyes
The silent vultures linger overhead

Vibrant eyes strain across every horizon
The omnipresent know no bounds
A pantheon of phantoms lurking beyond the scope of mortal men
The omnipresent know no bounds

Preying on the naivety of mankind
Haughty and proud
Through devious mechanisms kept
in an unbroken cycle of deprivation and enslavement
Their malignance insinuated into seemingly benign acts of control

We the obsequious, the obedient horde
We the servile, knees bent beneath the whip
Loyalty unbroken, we will not change

We the obsequious, the obedient horde
Dependent, unto our graves

Backs turned to the atrocity of our willful ignorance
A symbiotic dependence, a survival mechanism
Our servitude fueling their tyranny
Their tyranny ensures our slavery

Invoking the wrath of tyrants
We cannot escape their grasp
Bound in iron, wrought through ruin
Yank on the chains held by those who have ensnared you
We will drag them down
From the heights of their majesty
To be cast into the seething masses
And ensure they meet their ruin

But to punish the master is not enough
How can we pierce the flesh of our "gods"
Ascend the heavens, with the intent to destroy
To bind in chains, to inflame, to eliminate

May the billowing smoke rise and scathe the lungs of the fiends that breathe with a heaving disdain for a populace teetering on the precipice of ruination
And in response to the hacking of their ashen lungs
A charred chorus cries out

Invoking the wrath of tyrants
This fire is our new dawn
We step through the threshold of smoke towards a reborn world
Cleansed and empowered through the painful rebirth of revolution
No gods, no masters, autonomy regained at the dissolution of tyranny

Diminished and withered, all power over humanity lost
Their dominion dissolved, by the scouring flames of violent uprising
In the vacuum that remains, what consequence will arise from the absence of a power
That seeks to suppress and control the chaotic nature of men,
who are now left to fend for themselves
