lyrics

The purple robes come with swords gleaming
stabbing at the night
And the dark skin random violence turns to
recognizable Surgery grafting political power
on bare inner muscle Cover it up excise the
gluttony spare no expense

Bring back the ruling class time for engineered
controls Social temperament shattered purpose
beyond reproach Trademark clothes dark purple
hoods slip through open windows
Crimes of passion crimes of terrible motivation

Rightful citizens beliefs sown fabric of certainty
Sacrifice those not fit dispose recycle refit redesign
Cities in pieces ruins fires deliberate acts of mayhem
They will retake the world in the name of god.

Thin metal blades impacting hardwood
survey the city streets Looking for one more
death blow vanished anonymous endings
Staring at the night through black blinds
watching the city move
A cool reflective gaze government officials posture

Dispensing comforting words tar colored
shadows between the lines
Union of Fact and Influence waits
coded documents sent
More assassins of policy set forth
radical waves of dissent
Unmoving masses of morality
threatening status quo

Let us address reluctant cowards percentage
Undecided no remaining room for indecision
Primal sneer of vicious power no warmth no love
Unrelenting seizing control lighting up the dark

Dominion sound bytes prepared alliances building
Terror forming behind bulletproof windows
armed defenses Contrived power decisions
a mean sick playground joke
Rushing in among miles of cable
Thousands of electric eyes

Nothing prepared nothing rehearsed
Response is certain
No margin for mistakes no time
to placate the press
Static and a jumble of noise now the
image is clear
Undesirables making decisions
situation unforgivable
