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
