We know the end is near
We manufactured it
Manipulating fear is lucrative and legit
Dominion over all
The land, the sky, the sea
Blessings to the fall
Manifest my destiny
Couldn’t happen here
We wrote our history
Industries of suffering are thriving while you’re crying out to practice civility
It’s Gaza at home
They’re locking down the streets
You see genocide and murder
We see job security
Wars come home
Unite or die alone
The unknown becomes known
Set to tearing down all thrones
Who really put that gun in your hands?
What do they really want and where, where do they really stand?
Just profit
Over people
Power
By the profits
Capital so crushing
The only option left is to stop it
I’m in an arms race with all my neighbors
I’m starting to fit within some grand design
The world outside of me is only strangers
I fear the rot in me is not benign
I’ve hardly slept or been awake
Since stepping out in the unknown
The memories that haunt me are of this time and place
The humanity at stake is my own
The weak have been chosen for submission to the heat
The end is coming swift and right on time
Status reigns supreme every time I do not speak
Silence the preference of a privileged mind
Violence is the language of the state
They’re begging for you to talk to them
In their tongue you speak your fate
It’s movements
In numbers there is strength
No peace or justice found without the stressing of machines
To be awake
Is to demand the fall of all regimes
The people demand the fall of all regimes
