You Take The Prize
You take the prize, you take the prize, you take
And like a radiant star
Fixed point in time that you are
You cast your critical eye
A blunt refusal made flesh
I ask for equity
What bloodless soul could deny?
Within this palace of light
You dwell, convinced of your right
The natural order maintained
For this is how it must be
And cursed be those who
To which this need be explained
No room for weakness in your eyes
No empathy, no compromise
The chosen don't apologise
You take the prize, you take the prize
You take the prize, you take
You take the prize, you take the prize
You take the prize, you take
That which compels you to breathe
Transmit but never receive
Your very nature exposed
What levers of the divine?
What fearful visionary
Dictates this frame be imposed?
And to the devil his due
The shame of Croesus on you
How much does one man require?
And still we fall for the lie
Manifest destiny
Compassion fails to inspire
Guilty as charged no one denies
Censure evaded, no surprise
And like the Phoenix you arise
You take the prize, you take the prize
You take the prize, you take
Our misery you monetise
Invoking hate where none applies
The human heart you weaponise
You take the prize, you take the prize
You take the prize, you take
Guilty as charged no one denies
Censure evaded, no surprise
And like the Phoenix you arise
You take the prize, you take the prize
You take the prize, you take
And like a radiant star
Fixed point in time that you are
You cast your critical eye
A blunt refusal made flesh
I ask for equity
What bloodless soul could deny?
Within this palace of light
You dwell, convinced of your right
The natural order maintained
For this is how it must be
And cursed be those who
To which this need be explained
No room for weakness in your eyes
No empathy, no compromise
The chosen don't apologise
You take the prize, you take the prize
You take the prize, you take
You take the prize, you take the prize
You take the prize, you take
That which compels you to breathe
Transmit but never receive
Your very nature exposed
What levers of the divine?
What fearful visionary
Dictates this frame be imposed?
And to the devil his due
The shame of Croesus on you
How much does one man require?
And still we fall for the lie
Manifest destiny
Compassion fails to inspire
Guilty as charged no one denies
Censure evaded, no surprise
And like the Phoenix you arise
You take the prize, you take the prize
You take the prize, you take
Our misery you monetise
Invoking hate where none applies
The human heart you weaponise
You take the prize, you take the prize
You take the prize, you take
Guilty as charged no one denies
Censure evaded, no surprise
And like the Phoenix you arise
You take the prize, you take the prize
You take the prize, you take
