THE REVOLUTION (REVISED)

BROKE FROM THE CHAINS OF THE KING’S GLUTTONY

THE FOUNDERS DECLARED THAT ALL MEN SHALL BE FREE

HAVE CERTAIN RIGHTS WITHOUT CUSTODY

AND THEIR LEADERS SHALL SERVE WITH FULL DIGNITY

 

JUST READ THE CONSTITUTION

 

 

HIGH OFFICES HELD BY THOSE BOUGHT AND SOLD

FOR POWER, FOR STATUS, FOR TRINKETS AND GOLD

WHO PAY BACK THEIR MASTERS OVER TEN THOUSAND FOLD

THEN BEND DOWN IN CHAMBERS FOR THE COCK THICK AND COLD

 

AND OTHER FORMS OF PROSTITUTION

 

 

SO SINNERS THEY CROWD AND LIARS THEY WAIT

AND EAGERLY PAY FOR TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLAR PLATES

THE PROBLEM WITH KANSAS IS MORE THAN ONE STATE

TO CONQUER A PEOPLE, YOU MUST FIRST SEPARATE

 

BREAK LOOSE FROM THOSE ILLUSIONS

FROM THE EARTH’S HOLLOWS, AN OMINOUS GROAN

A FAINT, DISTANT RUMBLE WILL RISE AND EXPLODE

THE GREATEST SIN GRINDING GOD’S PERFECT ABODE

ARE FALSEHOODS, AND DELUSION

 

 

ACROSS ALL THE LANDS, THE BELLS HAVE BEEN RUNG

CITIES ARE SWARMING WITH THE BOLD AND THE YOUNG

LIKE A THREE HEADED BEAST SPEAKING FIVE TONGUES

ALL MADNESS AND CONFUSION

 

 

THAT ENDS IN A WHISPER USUALLY STARTS WITH A BANG

HEROES AND MARTYRS ARE THE FIRST TO BE SLAIN

IF THEY TEAR DOWN YOUR HOME, YOU MUST BUILD IT AGAIN

IT’S ABOUT PLANNING AND COLLUSION

 

 

FROM THE COLD STREETS, A STUTTERING SPRING

SOME ANGRY FISTS POUNDING ON THE DOORS OF THEIR KINGS

BUT THERE IS A CRACK, FROM WHICH COMES EVERYTHING

WHICH BRINGS THE DARKNESS LUCID

 

 

POETS IN SLUMBER WILL SCRIBE WITH THEIR PENS

TYRANTS’ TIGHT BINDS WILL BUCKLE AND BEND

BY THE HIGH TOWERS, ROSES SPRING FROM THE GLEN

IT’S A NATURAL EVOLUTION

 

ALL IS CLEANED BY THE LIGHT, FIND THE TRUTH THAT YOU CRAVE

SUMMON THE STRENGTH TO BE HOPEFUL AND BRAVE

THEN NOTHING WILL STOP, THIS UNSTOPPABLE WAVE

LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION
