THE ART OF HYPOCRISY

High above, beyond the walls
Evil dwells
Far away from our sight
Human snakes
Creeping among us

Digital nightmares shine
Switching things
Vicious beings
Spurious thoughts
Spread spiral blackness

Conform or die
Obey or fall
Decline your will
The swallowing system

You're nothing but
A silent cog
That turns inside
His dark spiteful engine

Towers full of hideous lies
And forked tongues
To deceive and imitate
Truth with their
Empty rhetoric

Future's just a forgery
Of their plans
Hide the facts
To control
The public opinion

The piper's here
To lead the rats
To precipice
The promised land they yearn for

Hang on his word
And cross his sign
Feed his machine
By means of a ballot box

See the shepherd and his herd
Following him obsequiously
Mindless, blinded crowd

The politics of promises
The politics of hollow words
Put your trust
In his hands
The gentle art
Of hypocrisy

Ruleless games of leaders as
Puppeteers
Their facade hides away
From your eyes
Dangerous intentions

A paper world of laws and acts
Legal crimes
Lies are told
Strings are pulled
Last result - breeding disorder

The right to vote
To choose the one
Who'll take you to
A far brighter future

As promises
Of bygone days
Will drown into
The sea of oblivion

See the shepherd and his herd
Intertwined in repulsive feasts
Fed on ignorance

The power orgy has begun
Just give your vote and lock your brain
Put your trust
In his hands
The subtle art
Of hypocrisy
