Elements Of Oppression

Our leaders write the roles from behind masked faces

Always hiding the reality of their true intentions

And like puppets we act out the roles

Of a tragedy that never ends

And the plot always thickens as the death rate quickens

And the human soul sickens with war always the means to the end

So how many times must Rome burn

Before the crucial lesson of history is learned?

Power kills, destroy everything that power builds

You're sucked into place by your own admittance

Self imposed enslavement

And though you curse your king how can it mean anything

When you worship cult of leadership?

It takes only one to lead but must the rest of us follow?

The whole is but the sum of it's parts

Do you act that part? Do you fit that part?

And how many times will we rebuild Rome

Only to watch it burn?

Power is death

Power is Death

These are the elements

Of oppression!
