The masses of manipulation
Fascism and creation
Control our minds
While we just sit by
Well I say, not this time
Stand against the men
That plague this land
The ones that take, take, take
But never give back
Sitting high and mighty
I will smite thee
By the hands of those around me
Tired of tyrants, I’m no longer silent
I fight for those who try to hide it
The house that feeds, is full of fucking thieves
You are fed nothing but lies and deceit
I plea, humanity
Reclaim dignity, stand with me
You may strike me down
For I bow to no crown
But I promise you this
In numbers we stand tall
Your patriarchy will fall
I hear them say, hear them say
“you will pay, you will pay,
You will pay for your sins
As we sever your limbs”
As they tear at my throat
Blood clots and I choke
Coughing up my phlegm
I fear the end
(But in the end, I can’t pretend
That I didn’t have this coming)
Blood dripping
I muster up the nerve
To speak my last words
“If I am to die then I will be heard,
I don’t regret all I’ve done
All the wrongs in my life
Made me what I’ve become
In the eyes of corruption
I am untainted”
