Panoptical
Chiaroscuro of oppression and indignity
To live amongst this predatory world
A reaction to a reaction to a reaction
While the army of enucleated observe
An aristocracy of misfortune dominates
The emergence of despotic machines
A sword suspended above the rabble fraying
The burning dog bites with stolen teeth
The absence of evidence
Is not evidence of absence
Guilt and innocence, arbitrary details
Acquiescence to panopticon
Yoke the invisible hand, usurp oppressive idolatry
Omit anything predicate on a revelation
The paranoic omniscience
Needed to maintain the reigns
On the great silence of the terminal commuter
Thought is a cancer in the bowels of regime
Under draconian sadists, infest
Only in death are we free
Yoke the invisible hand, usurp oppressive idolatry
Omit anything predicate on a revelation
The paranoic omniscience
Needed to maintain the reigns
On the great silence of the terminal commuter
Thought is a cancer in the bowels of regime
Under draconian sadists, infest
Only in death are we free
Marching straight into the jaws of the primitive gears leaping
Hand in hand to extinction
The more offensive the lie, the more you'll believe, shackled
The debt of existence
Better a terrible end than endless terror, resist
Face your own execution
The final nature of man is never
What he wills himself to be
In the sleep of reason
All the world's a slave
Usurpation of the apex, ransom denigrated
Permanent obedience
Never again, cowering, tortured, inhumane
The hands of roiling hatred
Anticipation of damnation, unyielding, perpetual
Mocked in triumphant contempt
Under the eye of the abhorrent tyrannical empire
Life is a memory, then it is nothing but pain
To live amongst this predatory world
A reaction to a reaction to a reaction
While the army of enucleated observe
An aristocracy of misfortune dominates
The emergence of despotic machines
A sword suspended above the rabble fraying
The burning dog bites with stolen teeth
The absence of evidence
Is not evidence of absence
Guilt and innocence, arbitrary details
Acquiescence to panopticon
Yoke the invisible hand, usurp oppressive idolatry
Omit anything predicate on a revelation
The paranoic omniscience
Needed to maintain the reigns
On the great silence of the terminal commuter
Thought is a cancer in the bowels of regime
Under draconian sadists, infest
Only in death are we free
Yoke the invisible hand, usurp oppressive idolatry
Omit anything predicate on a revelation
The paranoic omniscience
Needed to maintain the reigns
On the great silence of the terminal commuter
Thought is a cancer in the bowels of regime
Under draconian sadists, infest
Only in death are we free
Marching straight into the jaws of the primitive gears leaping
Hand in hand to extinction
The more offensive the lie, the more you'll believe, shackled
The debt of existence
Better a terrible end than endless terror, resist
Face your own execution
The final nature of man is never
What he wills himself to be
In the sleep of reason
All the world's a slave
Usurpation of the apex, ransom denigrated
Permanent obedience
Never again, cowering, tortured, inhumane
The hands of roiling hatred
Anticipation of damnation, unyielding, perpetual
Mocked in triumphant contempt
Under the eye of the abhorrent tyrannical empire
Life is a memory, then it is nothing but pain
