Power
Build a wall, they’ll fund it
Quarantine the fears of the masses
Enslave a nation in the guise of freedom
Then watch the monster you built
Rise, in an instant
The beast that fed you now feeds on you
Maw gaped you fall, bearing witness
To the empathy of few
Now you’ve nowhere to run
Now they’re coming for
War, now life has a price
Profits consume all sense of remorse
Of course, it’s just a kid’s life
A means to an end
Send in more, send them in droves
Wipe that speck off the earth
Nothing but hell will be left in my wake
Outnumbered
Watch the monster I built
Rise, in an instant
The beast that fed you now feeds on you
Maw gaped you fall, bearing witness
To the empathy of few
Now you’ve nowhere to run
Watch your empire fall, in sickness
All eyes turn on you
Now you’ve nowhere to run
From cacophonous war drums
So many years we’ve served you
Taking and taking until you
Took too much we refuse
Pay back all of your dues
You bit the hand that fed you
Took more than you could use
Now I am become death
The destroyer of worlds
Now bear witness
To the death of a nation
A culture, and empire
And your home
