Democide

Zero Hour

We've lived this life together
in an endless paradise
but something wicked this way comes

They came in shrieking
revolutionary cries
with malice and murder in their eyes

A fervent fever
to control the just
To pound freedom into dust

Damn you, damn you all. Damn you, you planned the fall
Damn you, damn you all. Damn you, damn you

In the West the empires fall
In the East the nations crawl
North and South will seek survival
the moment you came to life
No you were dead on arrival

New ways with dangerous means
Smoke the pipe and live the dream

In the West the empires fall
In the East the nations crawl
North and South will seek survival
the moment you came to life
No you were dead on arrival

Masters without a nation or given a name
Will make you sick and afflict the lame
Bow down to all of our extravagant claims
Prophets of guilt and priests of shame

We are invincible the all-seeing eye
everyone will know and keep their place
We are invisible we watch while you sleep
we can read every line on your face

Damn you, damn you all. Damn you, heed our call
Damn you, damn you all. Damn you damn you

And now the ship is sinking
No captains crews or sails
the hull is cracked and leaking
sailors seeking shore

What we were now has been
What we are will always be
Time is gone without sin
curse the day the evil came in

And now the minds are thinking
the men of truth are adrift
washed ashore their bodies
consumed by nothingness

One by one and two by two
They follow
One by one and two by two
They swallow
One by one and two by two
They're hollow
One by one and two by two
They choke

One by one and two by two
Over you
Two by two and three by three
They grew
Four by four and five by five
They live
Six by six by six
You die

And now the hearts are beating
a rhythm that is out of time
as the beat pounds relentless
these victims of the crime

And a voice from above said
Is it in heaven your souls you seek
or the eternal mystery
Or is it heaven in your souls you keep
I will provide I will provide I will keep you alive

Damn you, damn you to Hell
Damn you, you laughed as we all fell
Has the storm finally broken
Have the floods all gone dry
Did the winds finally subside
has the darkness left the sky
Have the clouds dearly departed
Has a light filled the land
A submission or illusion
or maybe a sleight of hand

Damn you piercing eyes
Damn you democide

With blood and tears
and sweat and pride
Comes a new golden dawn
a new sunrise

We all see the view
true North still is true
the fight remains in each of you
the simple way is always through

The acceptance of pain
Accept the pain
This gift of reason
is yours to gain

In the West the empires thrive
In the East the nations wide
North and South they have survived
the moment you come into this world
you are alive
