Lyrics

E Pluribus Unum

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Selfish desires are burning like fires

among those who hoard the gold

As the continue to keep the people asleep

and the truth from being told

Racism and greed keep the people in need

from getting what's rightfully theirs

Cheating, stealin and double dealing

as they exploit the peoples fears

Now, Dow Jones owns the people's homes

and all the surrounding land

Buying and selling their humble dwelling

in the name of the Master Plan

Cos paper money is like a bee without honey

with no stinger to back him up

and those who stole the people's gold

are definitely corrupt

Credit cards, master charge, legacies of wills

real-estate, stocks and bonds on coupon paper bills

Now the US mints on paper prings, millions every day

and use the eagle as their symbol cos it's a bird of prey

The laurels of peace and the arrows of wars

are clutched very tightly in the eagles claws

filled with greed and lust,

and on the back of the dollar bill,

is the words IN GOD WE TRUST

But the dollar bill is their only God

and they don't even trust each other

for a few dollars more they'd start a war

to exploit some brother's mother

Then there's the pyramid, that stands by itself

created by Black people's knowledge and wealth

and over the pyramid hangs the devil's eye

that stole from the truth and created the lie

Now ANNUIT means and endless amount stolen over the years

and COEPTIS means a new empire of vampire millionaires

And NOVUS is a Latin word meaning something new

an ORDO means a way of life chosen by a few

SECLORUM is a word that means to take from another

knowledge, wisdom and understanding stolen from the brother

Roman numerals on the base of the pyramid's face

tell the date they began to exist

when they established this branch of hell

in seventeen-seventy-six

Now there are thirteen layers of stone of the pyramid alone

an unfinished work of art

for thirty-three and a third is as high as a mason can go

without falling apart

Thirteen stars in the original flag!

Thirteen demons from the Devil's bag!

Thirteen berries and thirteen leaves!

Thirteen colonies of land-grabbing thieves!

Thirteen arrows in the eagle's claws!

Sixty-seven corporations wage the Devil's wars!

Thirteen stripes on the eagle's shield!

And these are the symbols on the US seal!

Now on the front of the dollar bill

to the right of Washington's head

is a small seal in the shape of a wheel

with the secret that's been left unsaid

The symbols in the middle represent the riddle

of the scales, the ruler and the key;

the square rule is a symbol

from the craft of masonry

The scales represent Libra

the balance of the seventh sign

They also represent the Just-Us

which you and I know is blind

The key unlocks the mysteries

of the secrets of the seal

So that only the Govern-u-men

would know what they reveal

The four words apart form the last parts of

the secrets of the seal

and tells how they fooled the people

into thinking paper money was real!

Now, THESAUR means the treasury

where they store the gold they stole

and AMER means to punish

like the slaves they bought and sold

Then SEPTENT means seven

like seventeen-seventy-six

when the thirteen devils gathered

to unleash their bag of tricks

The SIGEL means the images

they've created to fool the world

like the colors on Old Glory

the flag that they unfurled

Now the red was the color of the Indian man

White was the devil's who stole the land

Blue was the eyes that hypnotised

with the tricks and traps they sprung

and even to this very same day

they all speak with forked tongue!

And so the power is in the hand of the ruling classes

playing god with the fate of all the masses

so the people don't get any in the land of the plenty

because E PLURIBUS UNUM means One Out Of Many
