1.
Atop a mountain overlooking ravenous seas We revel in our glory and the majesty of our creation Succeeding all expectations that our fellow man has set for us Night has come, and the world comes alive We now know what it is to create life Breaking all boundaries that our reality has set We are not meant to disappoint, only to further our race Having done what we were built for, we have come to an end Is there to be a sequel, or is this life it? We stare down at our creation, as it slowly becomes sentient Its face contorts in concentration as it tries to find purpose Contemplating history, and what we have set in motion As comprehension crosses its face We know it has found its purpose To extinguish life as we know it and find a way to rebuild The creature rises, towering over its sires Resound in its goal to begin to cleanse the world We were our own undoing, as our pride overtook our morals To behold humanities greatest creation Slowly drowning in our greed and misplaced sense of purpose Always looking for another quick fix With complete disregard for our future We began to construct from the building blocks of life Unprepared, but determined to finish Always prepared to meet our quota Never ready to admit our shortcomings Accomplished in our work, we have prepared our funeral pyre To burn is to know true enlightenment
2.
Imprisoned, for our misgivings That fateful day arrived and we did nothing The desolate wasteland that remains of our once mighty civilization Shattered, broken and defaced Driven by our lust for material possessions We could not buy ourselves out of this chasm Our fear led us astray The belief system we were raised on Betrayed us, denied us our freedom We were slaves to our gluttony We’ve lost our foothold in reality We failed to sustain ourselves in chaos We turned to one who promised a return to our old ways Promised us our safety We accepted this solution without consideration We lost sight of the importance of freedom and independence Giving into our fears Now we are drones We are lost We are a commodity And the only ones to blame are ourselves
3.
Brought back To those times we lie awake Waiting for our minds to break Hoping for comfort from another lie To help us find why We live our lives And justify who we are In a world where nothing becomes everything You’re no one unless the media claims otherwise Yet our society dictates that we’re all equal The illusion of democracy exists to bring hope To those working and slaving to the bone To become something, somewhere, someone Taking substance after substance Trying to establish you’re alive And know that someone, somewhere does care if at the End of the day you still stand Unwillingly sucking down stale breath after breath Hoping and praying that a tear would be shed Finally finding peace and quiet Finally finding a reason to covet that last breath
4.
I am static on a channel I flow through the throngs of people like a ghost Such a miniscule piece of the puzzle Yet I hold the power to wipe the table clean Who am I to make these decisions? Why has this burden been dropped on me? There is but one reason: I am programmed to be unforgiving Your safety and security is my world I am the deterrent I am the omega I keep you safe at night while you sleep I pick the bad apples to be discarded I save the tree I am your god The threat is always present The solution stares at me without remorse I have become desensitized I am the harbinger of death I bring in the new dawn
5.
We will destroy all who oppose our gift Of a sovereign order, a mended ministry This is our moment To demonstrate our grandeur To take a stand For they are a cancer and we are the cure The only cure We trod through fields of rotting corpses Human skull fragments litter the ground around eviscerated torsos This is a new brand of justice One without honor We stare down at our slain enemies and begin to wonder why we kill For our government and its false profit The aspiration to do what is right is further obscured by propaganda That we’ve eagerly embraced For as long as we can remember We’re struck by a revelation And we lay down our weapons, and begin to question our faith
6.
The earth trembles Flying saucers dominate the sky Our last chance passed long ago All we can do is watch as the minions of hell overtake the earth Our fuhrer’s dream is finally realized We have created a race of superior beings Long gone are the days of insurrection I am the last hope for humanity Yet my fellow countrymen alienate me, prepare to betray me I am now a martyr without a cause My death will mean nothing Reality loses all complications I feel peace I feel warm And it ends The last rebel extinguished, preceded by days of disembowelment The example was made; and the lesson stuck With no hope left, the common man gave in to its annihilation The leader recreated the world as he saw fit No longer would humanity be plagued by an inferior race History books rewritten, fabrications became reality Reality loses all complications We feel peace We feel warm And it ends
7.
I watch as our society crumbles Underneath the weight of the ignorance of its people How long must we suffer How long until we empower ourselves And finally realize our potential How long will we allow big wig politicians to bankroll our economy for their agendas Will we not educate ourselves, and rise above the chaos? Find clarity and realize what we’ve been missing We’ve let ourselves go Gluttonously, we fill ourselves up on apathy and engorge ourselves on naiveté We feed on their lies How long until we realize that our education system will continue to fail us Will we ever realize the truth?
8.
I fall further into this chasm After weeks of malnourishment, I had no strength to fight back when they discarded me Everyone I’ve ever loved is dead, and part of me thanks those men for their kindness No one deserves this life I was once a mighty lord, and ruled over vast areas of land The world was my oyster, and I held the pearl As the uprising began, we underestimated their power The massacre that ensued The brutality and apathy of the soldiers Their dull and empty eyes staring on as they slaughtered our children We could have stopped this, but we simply wouldn’t listen The offers of riches were too much to pass up We knew what they stood for, yet our greed got in the way of our logic We completely disregarded our morals And in exchange, we practically shackled our own chains Now we are the peasants we once ruled Doomed to dig until we drop dead Finally to be discarded in the great abyss
9.
Calm flows over me I stare the executioner in the eyes, and feel his hatred penetrating my soul He continues to sharpen his axe, eagerly awaiting my sentencing There is no hope A crowd has gathered here today, and they are not to be disappointed Call for blood Off with his head Call for his death Purify this world x2 Once called friends, before they lost their initiative I do not blame them I have lost my humanity When there is nothing worth fighting for, there is no revolution We have forgotten that which drives us We will return someday Risen, with a new purpose, a new motivation But for now, we will rest in the ground
