lyrics

Along pathways, by streams of humanity

Debris amassing in the flow,

Tangled roots immersed in earth & water

Limbs stretching, yearning towards the sky.


Light, obscured by cumuliform cloudscapes,

An axiom concealed within our genes.
 

A fox to spot the snares, with guile to evade plots unseen.

A lion to overwhelm the wolves, circling with mutinous intent.


Courage to bear the burden of command,
Devious pursuit of triumph,

Where allegiance is mere fiction.

Accusata, Scusata - the end justifies the means.



Fools invoke only reverence in others

A power that wanes with familiarity,

Fear dictating most of human interaction

Sustained by sincere will to punish


Clinging to power’s threshold 

Orchestrated life of concealment.

An instinctual, ruthless timing

No promises truly kept.

Ungrateful fickle liars & deceivers,
Cursed by greed until the grave.
Hyper-normalisation

Epistemological conquest

Subtle, malignant corporatism

Society mutated for their purpose.

Memetic mass-manipulation

To muddy the dullest of waters.
Traumatised, isolated, automated,

Conditioned by propaganda.

In the realm of appearances

Belief usurps truth.

Existence is perpetual warfare

Each action, a spin of the wheel.


The mastery of fortune & virtue

With luck beyond jurisdiction,

Nurturing courage & prudence

Seeking chances to gamble.

Strength is found in vision & prospect

Ambition alone yields not glory,

Clasping at the horn of plenty

As Lions fall Wolves shall rise

To feast on the carcass.

Wresting the cornucopia,

As Lions fall Wolves shall rise.


A Dark Triad brands humanity,

Nourished & emboldened by sadism,

Since long before achieving consciousness.

Not so far removed from those

That roamed the Pleistocene,

Scant drive beyond survival

Or else to languish in malady.
The collective nadir of humanity -

Tyrants, warping the world at a whim,

A choir to the rhyme of history

Bitter psalms to a sordid species.
