Ether / Ore

What did you expect?
Respectfully decline to elaborate
Respectfully, it's
Hate to say it, hate

Loud like a devil box
Weather-vain
Glorious leader
Take me away in chains

Ether ore was the choice
But it never was a choice, of course
It was enforced
North points the compass
Dumbass, now it's time to think fast

Too long grinding
Not worth fighting anymore
Too long mining ether ore
