A Masterful Deception

Through these complex, menacing configurations
Orders passed down from operative overlords
Overreaching the bounds of the common good

The mouth of rationality will go unfed
Unless we bear the teeth of a starving beast
And lunge at the throats of these maniacal, reptilian liars

Manipulation of free will
Resulting in repeated flashes
Of the oncoming apocalypse

Bring forth all of the knowledge for filtration
Release only that which seeks to divide
Radiate the idiocy to secure repeated manifest destiny

Paving paths of trepidation
To wipe away intelligent perspective
Constructing a throne for the devil
Where once stood the center of liberty

An involuntary allegiance
Obey or perish
A sincere confession
Of such a masterful deception

It's time we face the facts
The "good old days" are dead and gone
Buried up to their necks with two in their head
As the definition of freedom continues to constrict

The covenant exists far beyond average arm's length
Privilege after privilege we beckon the elite
Manufactured deceit like rushing water flows
Vomiting forth from the mouths of these suited swine

And with gallows humor we compensate
In an effort to dismantle the fear campaign
Running at the speed of the chaos reigning down upon us

Forming impenetrable circles of protection
Around whatever shallow mythos we hold closest to our hearts
This world is not our own
Question every moment
Every sip of poisonous air

An involuntary allegiance
Obey or perish
A sincere confession
Of such a masterful deception
