Misery Index

Dissent Part 3. The Imperial Ambition

From Unchallenged Doctrines Before

When "Manifest Destinies" Carved

Nations From Innocent Blood

That Soaks This Wretched Earth Yet More

To The Passing Of History's Dream

From Kingly To Corporate Elite

In Glory These Conqueror's Thrust

Their Pious Swords Of Empire

Their Colonies Staining The Map

Their Pawns Imposing The Class Division

Another Imperial Act

Cloaked In The Shroud Of "Liberation"

Is It Freedom's Mission Or The Fascist Vision?

Is It Christ Compassion Or Coerced Conversion?

Sanctified Industry And Savior Modernity!

Spreading Over Oceans

Crusading On Hypocrisy

This Modern Greed Ambassador

Comes Masked As Democracy

Your God Is Chosen

Is Oil The Blood Of Their Christ

Cold, Dripping And Black

As Each Corpse Pays To Enhance

Their Burning Lust For Opulence?

Holding The Cross In Their Hand

The Priests Of Capital Feast

And Devour The Fruit Of Their Land

In Consecrated Warlust

The Patriot's Honor's Unquestioned

As The Carrion Rots In His Backyard

And What Noble Intentions Are Not

Born From The Bottom Of Tyranny's Heart?

Is It Freedom's Mission Or The Fascist Vision?

Is It Christ Compassion Or Coerced Conversion?

Saving Humanity With Poverty's Liturgy!

On The Flag And Bible Stand

Their Moralistic Monarchy

With Red, White And Blood

Smeared Over Eyes Deceived

The Crowds Will Follow

Force Feeder Of Fiction And Lies

Your Nation Is Lost And Dead

Another Map Drawn, Another State

Yet Another Victim Of The Terror Fear Mandate

Another Page Turned, Another Book Burned

Onward Christian Soldiers, Let Them Burn!
