lyrics

This is it
The moment of your lives
Just one purpose
Just existence
Void of conscious together you stand
All you fair ones endowed
With chains!

Children
A path isn’t always read from teleprompters
It’s them
Cameras only show the stages they made
A pawn they played
But now, are you surprised
Born to close your eyes
Have you realized
That you are just a headache
A pawn they played

Self esteem
Comes from mics drenched in spit
You will be
The pawn they knew you could be
Did you think that this was best
Did you really think that they would care?

What happens next will not be your concern
But you can’t rise from ash if nothing burns

To those that can hear I say do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, Liberty will never perish.
Soldiers! Don’t give yourselves to brutes! Men who despise you, enslave you, regiment your lives, who tell you what to do, and what to think, and what to feel. Those who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Do not give yourself to these unnatural men! Machine men, with machine hearts and machine minds. You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts.
In the 17th chapter of Luke it is written that the kingdom of God is in man. Not one man, not a group of men, but in all men! In you! You the people have the power. The power to create machines, the power to create happiness! You the people have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure! Then in the name of humanity, let us use that power. Let us all unite. Let us all fight for a new world, a decent world, that will give men a chance to work, that will give you a future, and old age, and security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power, but they lie! They do not fulfill that promise, they never will. Dictators free themselves, but they enslave the people! Now, let us fight to fulfill that promise, let us fight to free the world! To do away with national barriers, to do away with greed, and hate, and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason, for a world where science and reason will to all men’s happiness. Soldiers, in the name of humanity, unite!
