As I watch you all wondering where you went wrong Screaming, begging, pleading for mercy, terminated one by one Gave up one thing hoping for another you never learned your lesson and now others suffer The desire for control hates anything that might lead to hope for resistance Scrambling for cover and cowering just like cattle Where is your precious Shepard? Where is your protector? No duty to defend you from harm as determined by your own courts of law Arriving just in time to clean up the blood and ask bystanders what they saw Too late now to take back what you made us give up Screaming, begging, pleading for mercy, terminated one by one Pain. Fear. Pain. Hate. Pain. Blood. Death. Lust. Death. Blood. Pain. Free.

Man is a vicious, vengeful beast obsessed with satisfying his banal mechanical desires. Lying, cheating, stealing, dominating others in his quest to be on top, once and for all. There is nothing majestic or magical. There is nothing miraculous about power. Obliterate your preconceptions. Unify your shattered selves. Transcend greed Eviscerate those who seek dominion I've only seen boundless compassion In your fictions and your dream This perception Can experience no peace Obliterate your preconceptions. Unify your shattered selves. Transcend greed, eviscerate Those who seek dominion

Vision 03:18
I can see your future, ending yesterday Pretense only goes so far Recognize the problem, scream loud and treat the symptoms Recognize the problem, scream loud and ignore the cause Murderous manipulation A total lack of self control Your envious exasperation I fight your vision for this world Endless cycles perpetuate this pattern Everything is changing, every century the same Save some time by learning from the past You don't have to make the same mistakes Murderous manipulation A total lack of self control Your envious exasperation I fight your vision for this world Endless cycles perpetuate this pattern Everything is changing, every century the same Recognize the problem, scream loud and treat the symptoms Recognize the problem, scream loud and ignore the cause Murderous manipulation A total lack of self control Your envious exasperation I fight your vision for this world

No food. No shelter. No guarantee that we'll see the next sunrise. We all understand that we have nothing to lose. Thus begins our glorious revolution. Brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers The time has come to seek a better tomorrow Take what you can to arm yourselves We're gonna give the beasts in power a living hell Show them the same consideration they gave to us Show them the same determination thought we gave up Topple the monuments to greed and death I'll fight for freedom with my last breath Up against the wall No blindfolds Shoot them all Blood flows like a river through the streets Cleansing them of one vermin to make way for another The surviving sociopaths struggle for power Slowly reinstituionalizing control and corruption And as we experience the new sun together we realize That the tree of liberty will always demand more blood Brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers The time has come to seek a better tomorrow Take what you can to arm yourselves We're gonna give the beasts in power a living hell Show them the same consideration they gave to us Show them the same determination thought we gave up Topple the monuments to greed and death I'll fight for freedom with my last breath

Separated from the whole each one is close to zero Alone and disconnected adverse to all else that exists Nothing comforts against the prospect of oblivion The ego struggles to persist Raised in consant contradiction and hypocrisy The nature of the true self hidden from identity The nature of identity hidden from the true self The truth revealed, there is no separation Artificial language creates the lies that bind Accepting this unity brings peace Accepting this peace brings unity The secret revealed, taboo lifted Integrated with the rest of the Universal experience of humanity as oceans
