Emergence


Like a spider spinning webs in your fetid hole 
You measure discontent with envy 
Darkness eats your soul 
You hatch your sordid little plots 
Every convert plays a part 
Your hateful faction grows 
Then crumbles as the center falls apart 

Run for higher ground 
your back against the wall 
And watch your henchmen gather round 
As they rally to your call 
You unleash them on the world 
Like a wild savage horde 
And with their battle flags unfurled 
They clamor as their victims are ignored 

Like a self-made petty god in your secret shrine 
Your hounds lay curled up on your feet 
Waiting for a sign 
Blaming others for your faults 
Bilging with your secret hate 
Your faithful turn away 
You see at last but now it is too late
