Democide

We've lived this life together
In an endless paradise
But something wicked this way comes

They came in shrieking, revolutionary cries
Malice and murder in their eyes
A fervent fever to control the just
Pound freedom into dust

Damn you, damn you all
Damn you, you planned the fall
Damn you, damn you all
Damn you, damn you

In the West the empires fall
In the East the nations crawl
North and South will seek survival
The moment you came to life
No, you were dеad on arrival

New ways with dangerous means
Smokе the pipe and live the dream

In the West the empires fall
In the East the nations crawl
North and South will seek survival
The moment you came to life
No, you were dead on arrival

Masters without a nation or given a name
Will make you sick and afflict the lame
Bow down to all of our extravagant claims
Prophets of guilt and priests of shame

We are invincible, the all-seeing eye
Everyone will know and keep their place
We are invisible, we watch while you sleep
We can read every line on your face

Damn you, damn you all
Damn you, heed our call
Damn you, damn you all
Damn you, damn you

And now the ship is sinking
No captain, crews or sails
The hull is cracked and leaking
Sailors seeking shore

What we were now has been
What we are will always be
Time is gone without sin
Curse the day the evil came in

And now the minds are thinking
The men of truth are adrift
Washed ashore their bodies
Consumed by nothingness

I said one by one and two by two (They follow)
One by one and two by two (They swallow)
One by one and two by two (They're hollow)
One by one and two by two (They choke)
One by one and two by two (Over you)
Two by two and three by three (They grew)
Four by four and five by five (They live)
Six by six by six
You die

And now the hearts are beating
A rhythm that is out of time
As the beat pounds relentless
These victims of the crime
And a voice from above said
"Is it in Heaven your souls you seek
Or the eternal mystery?
Or is it Heaven in your souls you keep?
I will provide, I will provide, I will keep you alive"

Damn you, damn you to Hell
Damn you, you laughed as we fell

Has the storm finally broken?
Have the floods all gone dry?
Did the winds finally subside?
Has the darkness left the sky?
Have the clouds dearly departed?
Has a light filled the land?
A submission or illusion
Or maybe a sleight of hand

Damn you, piercing eyes
Damn you, democide

With blood and tears
And sweat and pride
Comes a new golden dawn
A new sunrise

We all see the view
True North still is true
The fight remains in each of you
The simple way is always through
The acceptance of pain
Accept the pain
This gift of reason
Is yours to gain

In the West the empires thrive
In the East the nations wide
North and South, they have survived
The moment you come into this world
You are alive
