Lyrics:
An autocrat ascends to the throne
Believing himself to be benevolent & pure
Are we so different from him?
I’m not so sure
I’m not quite so sure
For you see, the road to hell is paved with good intentions
The red dawn
Dwells in the hearts
& minds of the naive & ignorant
Hammer clenched within fist
To enforce with totality
& a Sickle to cut apart families
A tyranny of mediocrity
Suppressing all success
Only to invest in the dead
Mass graves
Unbridled human potential thrown to waste
Mass graves, a compost heap of the dead
What makes you think you know better?
What makes you think you can do better in carving out a utopia?
It will never exist
It will never fucking exist
Their long march toward progress
They’ll never reach an end goal
Blood & bodies strewn about their road
For you can justify any evil
To inflict upon your fellow man
Convinced you act with a righteous hand
Living out their sheltered existence
Basking in the pleasures of convenience
Mound upon mound of wasted flesh
Drowning in your sea of ignorance
Thinking yourselves so benevolent and so pure
Is this not what you wanted?
Is this not what you asked for?
Equality at the end of a gun?

Lyrics:
The seeds of hatred they had sown for me
I was watering them from the very beginning
In anticipation of the rotted fruit to blossom forth
For I am ever eager to feast upon their

Bounty of scorn

So it did, spring from the leaves that came from those shriveled up seeds
I plucked them immediately & gorged myself ever so deliciously
& when they planted daggers in my back, I cried, go ahead and…

Dig deeper in…Dig deeper in

The fools, they had believed themselves to be the only ones praying for my downfall
But I’ve been in that line with my hands clasped & head bowed down all along

They never held power over me
So proceed with the fork tongue lashing
Holy water dousing
Pitchfork waving

Spit your f*cking vitriolic poison into my soul & smite me down as yet another witch to be burnt down at the stake
All the machinations are in motion for me to claim my rightful place as a martyr of hate

So smite me down oh holy grand inquisitor
For I hath committed the gravest of offenses
Hast thouest not found me guilty of wrong think?
Hast thouest not found me guilty of hate speech?

Puritan…

Time to pay the price for painting outside of your lines all my life & freeing minds from your victimizing lies
These were but once noble pastimes of mine

Their ideas & words ring hollow
As they begin to ready the gallows
Tie the rope around our throats
Cast into deep waters to test if we’ll float
Put upon the stake & set ablaze

Cleansed in the fires of a new age puritanical inquisition
Racing to the bottom of an unrelenting conformist ideology

Puritan…

Go on having now been born witness to the rise of a new civic religion
The formation of a gnostic cult
