LYRICS:
The horizon dips the continuum machine,¹ clogs the rhythm of my breath.² Divided by distance, caught in the instant,³ the mind strives against mangled forces.⁴ A portrait of the nation’s fragile equilibrium,⁵ undeniable myths they propagate like opium.⁶ The monastics kneel for holy crusade,⁷ led by Priests who bow to Kings!⁸
Feigning a noble intent,⁹ malevolent behind curtained consent.¹⁰
A parasite fed on order,¹¹ throne of supremacy!¹²
Camouflaged entities in creed symbols,¹³ ideologies infiltrate the flag’s honor.¹⁴ The servants swore to the totem,¹⁵ syndicates forged to act the illicit.¹⁶ Kindred clash under their command,¹⁷ another sacrificial lamb is a crown attained.¹⁸ Yet we still light fire to the pyre,¹⁹ cremating our dignity to ashes!²⁰
I’ve delved through the annals of time, historically precise line by line.²¹ The concealment is a fatal flaw,²² who bears the seals of The Knights?²³ Scales shatter into fractured stone,²⁴ ideals buried beneath rubble.²⁵ Miscreants bound with rotten arbiters,²⁶ the covenant is an oath breaker!²⁷
Feigning a noble intent, malevolent behind curtained consent.
A parasite fed on order, throne of supremacy!
Ethos distorts the state,²⁸ incinerates the sins they perpetrate.²⁹
The empire never falls by fate,³⁰ it’s overthrown to counterfeit!³¹
Throw ourselves as prey for the primal beasts!³²
Lay our names to rest in unmarked graves!³³
