Internal Bleeding
Patterns of Force I. The Discovery
In this new world
A brotherhood of man
The epoch of tranquility
Spread throughout the land
But below the surface
Lies cruelty and hate
And the ancient animosities
That bind our fate
The long dormant texts
Of a madman's mind
Plan for unraveling
All of mankind
The wisdom I have found
Shall brant unto me
The knowledge to implement
The age of hostility
You shall worship me
In prayer on bended knee
Come to me
Gather thee
Helpless ones (covet me)
Flock to me
Bow to me
Swear to me (fealty)
Fight for me
All for me
Die for me (incessantly)
Slaves to me
Never free
Eternally (in misery)
Implement the plan
Of ruling this weak word
With blood and sacrifice
Our flag shall be unfurled
Desecrate the land
And bathe yourself in sin
Fight till your last breath
I command you to begin
In communion with my words
Compelled masses start to rise
In lockstep they marched forward
Towards harmony's demise
Movement born of hate
Progeny of a father long since dead
Soldiers swathed in black
Just waiting to be lead
The time has now arrived
To victory
I compel thee
The future dawns
Humanity's legacy of violence is now a distant memory
Lost in the mists of time
Peace, contentment and conformity
Utopia has achieved
But there are those who still abhore these virtues
Men born of a different time
Who long for strength
And lust for power
Zealots who seek dominion over the weak
With the knowledge of the past unlocked
They seek imperium
Through genocide and war
