A history stained in red and gold
Necessary violence, so they claim
Our torture shrouded
By the scraps we're fed
Pain normalized
It is all we know
Human abstraction
Dominion in terror
Promised salvation
The coffers swell
Fed off the cruel irony
Of this late hour's spoils
Their plan continues the horror
Exploitation for concentration
Human abstraction
Dominion in terror
Promised salvation
The coffers swell
With violent capital
Only when we're all willing
To risk death
Only when we're all willing
Can the cycle break
