Against the tide of empire To which we are wedded To which we are nailed Exorcising every breath and whim Strangling the hosts Desperate and complicit Burning for grand illusions Idolatry of power Immersion of self We are fixed in a moment of time But sooner imagine annihilation In the minds of all Implanted death Annihilation The burning and longing are unmet Delusions of being in the midst of all We are but a speck of dust in hell Walls of futility tower above Transparent to the weak and oblivious Built with betrayal Unbroken by mutiny Betrayal of their own accord Perish in the fervour For everything and nothing Bring down what remains Forfeit all for annihilation
