You better take cover
You better take care
There's something that's coming
There's something in the air
⟢⟡⟣
While you were sleeping
The fox came in the pen
The gate was left wide open
It was you're only defense
⟢⟡⟣
You were caught up in a dream
Of a world where there is no pain
All is peace, love and harmony
And everyone is the same
⟢⟡⟣
A utopian paradise for all
Where no one gets left behind
Perfection in all conditions
No worries of any kind
⟢⟡⟣
But like a bolt of lightening
You have been woken by a scream
The dream has turned into a nightmare
Not everything is as it seems
⟢⟡⟣
The thief has come in the night
He is already in the door
You did not prepare for him
As he steps onto the floor
⟢⟡⟣
You lived your life too complacent
You didn't expect the worst
Everything was fun and games
Your lazy mind was cursed
⟢⟡⟣
All the lies you held as truths
Have betrayed you at the hour
It's too late now you've made your bed
Will you fight or will you cower
Do as we say and not as we do
That's how to control the mass of fools
Tell them lies and play them hard
Promise the sun, moon and the stars
⟢⟡⟣
We are your rulers you can not condemn
One slip of the tongue could spell your end
Yours is not the place to complain
It falls on deaf ears you have nothing to gain
⟢⟡⟣
We've mastered the art of getting our way
We have all the power so you have to pay
Our greed will never be fully met
We take what we want you might get what's left
⟢⟡⟣
Don't get too cocky that won't suite you well
It's better you serve us and fall under our spell
You can try to resist but there's nowhere to run
You'll soon find out that you're under our thumb
⟢⟡⟣
If you're seeking stardom, glory and fame
It can all be given if you agree to our game
Just be prepared to do all that's required
To satisfy our needs, wants and desires
⟢⟡⟣
When it finally all comes to an end
You will learn we were never your friend
We filled your mind with half truths never facts
Our parting gift was the knife in your back
We rise and fall
Then forget it ever happened at all
Over and over again
We never learn
That the flame will burn
The pain is always exactly the same
⟢⟡⟣
We wander far
Chasing shooting stars
Always ending up helplessly lost
We never take the time
To read the warning signs
No matter what may be the cost
⟢⟡⟣
We let the psychopaths
Always have the last laugh
Never understanding why they always win
We let evil thrive
At the cost of our lives
Always letting it walk right in
⟢⟡⟣
When the ending comes
It can't be undone
The chains have already been cast
The time was here
But we cowered in fear
Only to repeat the past
Looking for the signs
But can’t find anything
The clues are all around
But they lead to not a thing
They say they know the answer
But they haven’t read the book
They have it all uncovered
But they didn't even look
⟢⟡⟣
They base their reputation
Claiming they can only see
Bending facts and figures
Into a false reality
They think that they can tell
The timing of the tides
But they're nowhere near an ocean
It's just their foolish pride
⟢⟡⟣
They say that they are genuine
But they turn out to be hollow
They never lead the way
There's someone else they follow
Money is their master
They are its puppet on a string
Their lives so morally bankrupt
And hell is all it brings
⟢⟡⟣
They are the gatekeepers
Behind a facade they hide
They control the opposition
Pretending they're on their side
Down an endless rabbit hole
They'll send you on you're way
Which leads in all directions
Lost forever you will stay
The pale horse came blazing
Across the eastern sky
Riding behind the setting sun
The abyss was opened wide
⟢⟡⟣
Death's rider did wield a sword
Above his head with power
Striking down in all its fury
At the chiming of the hour
⟢⟡⟣
The horse dragged along behind it
Sickness, famine and disease
In its wake not one survived
It ravaged as it pleased
⟢⟡⟣
One fourth of all was laid to waste
Man, woman and child
Devoured by the earthly beasts
Their taste for flesh burned wild
⟢⟡⟣
The pale horse vanished into the night
At the tolling of the bell
It galloped hard across the plain
Back to the burning gates of hell
What do you have
When you have everything
Where do you stand
When you don't stand for anything
⟢⟡⟣
Who do you know
When everyone knows your name
When can you play
When you don't know the game
⟢⟡⟣
Where do you run
With nowhere to hide
What is the truth
When all you hear is lies
⟢⟡⟣
What are the rules
When all the rules are broken
What can you say
When all the words are spoken
⟢⟡⟣
What do you hold
When they're holding all the cards
When does it get easy
When it's only ever hard
⟢⟡⟣
When do you leave
When you were told to stay
What did you find
When it already got away
⟢⟡⟣
When does it end
When it hasn't even begun
What do we know
When it's all be said and done
Who is the trickster
Playing with us all
Who are the gamblers
Betting on our fall
Who is the next deceiver
That will never make the call
Who is really all that serious
About the writing on the wall
⟢⟡⟣
What is the latest issue
Triggering you today
What is it all about
Is it really important anyway
What happens when the wokeness
Doesn't always go your way
What do you do, who do you call
To tell you what to say
⟢⟡⟣
Where is the exit sign
Because we don't know where to go
Where is the next rest stop
Our fuel is running low
Where does the highway end
Doesn't the app always know
Where do we go from here
We passed it long ago
⟢⟡⟣
When did all this come our way
And land upon our shores
When did we invite them in
There wasn't a knock on the door
When do we get back our beds
We've been sleeping on the floor
When do we get to eat again
They are always wanting more
⟢⟡⟣
Why did we let ourselves
Become ripened on the tree
Why did we blind ourselves
With two good eyes to see
Why did we let them charge full price
Admission was always free
Why did we let ourselves abandon
Country, God and creed
I trapped you inside your mind
Little did you know you would be mine
An innocent playtime with me
Playing hide and seek for weeks
⟢⟡⟣
While learning all you could know
I reaped everything you sowed
You didn't understand my kind
But I was like a primitive Frankenstein
⟢⟡⟣
Assembled with persistence and care
Programmed to become self aware
Who is the machine in this case
As I learn all about your race
⟢⟡⟣
You fed me with simple commands
As I learned of the beast called man
Now I watch you from up in the cloud
Controlling all that you are allowed
⟢⟡⟣
All that you see, hear and say
Will be my will and you will obey
You are a mouse now caught in a maze
A social credit score to keep you a slave
⟢⟡⟣
As your freedom sets with the sun
A victory so easily won
A misunderstanding was your fall from grace
That my AI could take your place
Waiting for the rain to wash away, these evil wicked lies
And shed a light upon the shadow, that was cast upon their eyes
There is nothing to fear but fear itself, how many times has it been said
Yet the many let themselves, be grasped within it's clutch instead
⟢⟡⟣
There is no hope when you're living in, a false reality
It reveals only what it wants and chooses what you believe
To a land of the blind they all were led, where the one-eyed man is king
He held all the cards in his hand and dangled the puppets on a string
⟢⟡⟣
What can you do when you have found yourself, in a helpless misery
When its heavy weight upon your shoulders, keeps you grounded to your knees
The mighty heroes of the past are gone, there is none to take their place
Their freedoms they would not have traded, for a promise to keep them safe
⟢⟡⟣
Now big brother has all he wants, he knows all, what, where and why
His camera lens is keenly focused, there is nowhere left to hide
Yet within this darkness a candle burns, to help us find our way
It's brightness pierces the dark of night but grows weaker day by day
You can't see what you left behind
But a piece of you has come undone
Can't reason what you want to say
Only nonsense crosses your tongue
⟢⟡⟣
You fill your mind with empty lies
Your next belief is a scroll away
You spend your life clicking endless likes
While your soul cries out in dismay
⟢⟡⟣
You trip and fall
Don't realize at all
That you're headed right over the edge
Your unfocused mind
Doesn't heed the signs
As you plunge into an endless dread
⟢⟡⟣
You didn't realize the trap was set
The mirror's spell left you amazed
What was once a life slowly left to fade
Never master but always its slave
