Shield the monocrat and
Better fulfill his needs and wields his sordid means
Thank you for all torture and maul
Which only keep it running
We condemn disruption
We should fight for liberation now (Liberate us now)
Breed the egoist and
Give him them all he needs and feed his vicious greed
Thank you, we call for chaos
And leave us all alone, resigned
We condemn corruption
We should fight for abdication now (Abdicate us now)
When an action bids retraction to begin
You will feel what it's like to suffer for your sins
We will commence
Yield the ruffian then
Give him the gall that he needs and field his children now
For they'll recall, once and for all
This farce is everlasting
We condemn suppression
We should fight this aberration now (Fight suppression now)
When an action bids retraction to begin
You will feel what it's like to suffer for your sins
Temptation has destroyed so many brilliant minds
Fate pays the deviant with agony in kind
The lies you've spread
For blood you've shed
You'll have to justify
Enslaved to reign
Heartless, insane
You'll have to pay the price
Words fail now
This war will come to an end
Vile secrets were kept in the dark
Avoiding social unrest
Words fail now
The truth is hard to comprehend
Wild efforts to gag dissidents
Will ever fail in the end
We condemn aggression
We could find our destination now (Find it here somehow)
When an action bids retraction to begin
You will feel what it's like to suffer for your sins
Temptation has destroyed so many brilliant minds
Fate pays the deviant with agony in kind
We will commence
Your chance is now!
