A City Upon a Hill
The people's agency
Acts contradictory
To its philosophy
And claims faux praise for the Century of Lights
In the tattered cathedral with shattered rose windows
Between reverberations and echoes, they'll reshape until they resonate
But somehow with a broken ceiling the smokey rain is kept out by the
Crescendo-esque voice of intelligence and resistance
Break down the synthetic atmospheric pressure
Clear the air, kill the city humidifiers
Burst the subsidized clouds
Bring these mad men down
Keep your mask on
At any cost
I'll meet you when the sirens scream curfew
We'll fight them
To purify
The rain supply
All we need is one day of sobriety
Tonight we're taking the desert to the city
But I never expected
So much disbelief
And it's there where hope
Dies in darkness
Long live The Oligarch
Acts contradictory
To its philosophy
And claims faux praise for the Century of Lights
In the tattered cathedral with shattered rose windows
Between reverberations and echoes, they'll reshape until they resonate
But somehow with a broken ceiling the smokey rain is kept out by the
Crescendo-esque voice of intelligence and resistance
Break down the synthetic atmospheric pressure
Clear the air, kill the city humidifiers
Burst the subsidized clouds
Bring these mad men down
Keep your mask on
At any cost
I'll meet you when the sirens scream curfew
We'll fight them
To purify
The rain supply
All we need is one day of sobriety
Tonight we're taking the desert to the city
But I never expected
So much disbelief
And it's there where hope
Dies in darkness
Long live The Oligarch
