The DARKNESS
Holding my breathe as I count to 10
Forward and back again
Controlling the savage within
Imagery running through my mind
Devils heads, burning beds
With crawling copperheads in mind
Circuming daily to demoralization
On every plane of every level
Dehumanizing the human to nothingness
Entrapment of Enterprise
You act like we don't realize
The evilness in your lies
Envious cause I wont IDOLIZE
Simple minds with eyes on short term prize
My long term goal is soul completion
Instead I absorb myself
In elder wisdom and universal sight
Understanding this plight
Eyes opened wide
Able to peer through the web
The MATRIX is alive
Walking blindly darkness
Inconceivable to me
Allowing someone to lead
Black holds its own light
For it engulfs all light
Therefor my birthright
Etched in stone
Atop a pyramid by my ancestors
Favor constructed for creation
Surely we will
Reclaim the Throne once owned
Restoring natural order in the fold
Invoke the warrior who resides in me
How dare to question my authority
Conditioning plays the role of control
Try to keep my soul enslaved
I fly high above all hidden shame
Your lies disgust and defeat
One day it will be defined
Our role our place our destiny
One repressed now enlightened
Forward and back again
Controlling the savage within
Imagery running through my mind
Devils heads, burning beds
With crawling copperheads in mind
Circuming daily to demoralization
On every plane of every level
Dehumanizing the human to nothingness
Entrapment of Enterprise
You act like we don't realize
The evilness in your lies
Envious cause I wont IDOLIZE
Simple minds with eyes on short term prize
My long term goal is soul completion
Instead I absorb myself
In elder wisdom and universal sight
Understanding this plight
Eyes opened wide
Able to peer through the web
The MATRIX is alive
Walking blindly darkness
Inconceivable to me
Allowing someone to lead
Black holds its own light
For it engulfs all light
Therefor my birthright
Etched in stone
Atop a pyramid by my ancestors
Favor constructed for creation
Surely we will
Reclaim the Throne once owned
Restoring natural order in the fold
Invoke the warrior who resides in me
How dare to question my authority
Conditioning plays the role of control
Try to keep my soul enslaved
I fly high above all hidden shame
Your lies disgust and defeat
One day it will be defined
Our role our place our destiny
One repressed now enlightened
