No King but Caesar

It’s why we seek a faction to control Like fratricide capitulate but never hold Defeating our own interests to the mean And deliver us from what we can’t define or see Define or see Conflating everything into a prayer that doesn’t mean a thing That you can reconcile or dismiss away Condoning genocide as if there is no conscience left inside your soul And from this legacy you prosper When violence breeds indifference we are lost Release a plague upon us but defer the cost With rabid eyes and profits clenched between our teeth Quickly patronize and shift the blame ignoring grief Ignoring grief Conflating everything into a prayer that doesn’t mean a thing That you can reconcile or dismiss away Condoning genocide as if there is no conscience left inside your soul And from this legacy you prosper But we don’t talk about it desensitize the process I’ve stared into the darkness for far too long Deny the endless suffering politicize our conscience Just feed us we’ll believe it until it’s gone (Our time) We advertise as proper (Is running short) You play the good consumer (To save our future) Don’t speak a word in protest (Our last resort) Stare and obey (A place in time) Consume the earth and burn it (To make our stand) Eradicate potential (In this defiance) Dismiss inconsequential (Just take my hand) Morality
