our hearts have been weeping
sending out quiet cries
nudging us to listen
while we’ve been blinded by the lies
for generations we’ve been asleep
veils blocking inner sight
while malefic forces ran amok
attempting to thwart the light
they kill the Earth and her people
no remorse for their vicious deeds
ego and evil driving them
spreading hate like seeds
they call themselves the “leaders”
claiming that they’re good
while they trade their souls for power
and consume our fear as food
they take and take and take some more
collecting minds and millions
devastating the planet
robbing their own civilians
they support their crooked friends
funding wars and genocide
starving babies, taking land
doing it with pride
their giant corporations
pumping poison everywhere
then taxing people to drive to work
while their jets are in the air
they spout empty words and promises
spin their pretty lies
pretending that they give a damn
while they brutalize
they set up lines and carve us up
left, right, religion, nation
control and con the people
while claiming to be salvation
but every day that passes by
more see them for what they are
liars and cowards and narcissists
evil with no heart
the darkness that was always here
hidden in plain sight
is rising to the surface now
coming to the light
in spite of all their efforts
light’s whisper is reaching hearts
minds and eyes are opening
now seeing through the dark
this is what they’ve tried to stop
eternal blindness was their plan
can you feel their panic rising
as we wake and stand
they will try to placate people
with claims of noble actions
while making deals with the devil
and sending out distractions
don’t let their lies convince you
you are weak and small
we are what they fear the most
now we must stand tall
stand in truth, bring the light
remember why you’re here
to be a peaceful warrior
and overcome the fear
so arm yourself for your rise
not with fear or force or hate
don the armour they can’t touch
weapons of love and faith
heal your heart and let it shine
clear darkness from within
this is how we take power back
this is how we win
can you hear the death rattle
the monster's desperation
it kicks and screams and throws its might
to maintain its domination
force and fear are the only way
or so it wants us to believe
but the veil of deception has been dissolved
and the truth is plain to see
it thinks that it is fooling us
fronting all the "power"
but we know it for what it truly is
the approach of its final hour
what it didn't plan on
was the awakening of our hearts
it thought that it could suppress us
and forever trap us in our thoughts
but critical mass has been reached
the dark spell has been broken
its greatest fear has come to pass
enough people have awoken
with every move that it makes
it invokes its own undoing
for each atrocity awakes another
the light is now accruing
its demise approaches quickly now
here comes the revelation
can you hear the death rattle
the monster's desperation
world war isn’t imminent
it is already here
it’s not just bombs they are fighting with
it’s propaganda and fear
it’s not only bodies that they want
this battle is not that kind
to the victor go the spoils
they are coming for your mind
it’s psychological warfare
and chaos is the goal
“look! over there is the enemy
now give to me your soul”
“they will come and take what’s yours
but I, I will protect you
just avert your eyes, turn off your heart
and pretend you never knew”
“don’t listen to that whisper
that quiet voice inside
that tells you something’s wrong here
it’s MY word you must abide”
“now get in line and shut your mouth
be grateful it’s them, not you
and give me all the taxes
I need it for the coup”
“we have a right to kill
for they are a threat to our freedom
there’s nothing for you to worry about
it’ll be our version in the museum”
the drums beat
and the clocks tick
the leaders languish
and their control slips
so the wars wage
and the babies burn
but the people can see you now
now it’s your turn
the end creeps closer
for your control and oppression
the lies and the greed
the corruption and obsession
you poison and kill
and think it’s alright
but soon you will see
that might is not right
the time is here
our hearts are waking
and the people will stand
and demand you stop taking
your time is over
your reign is dead
the darkness is done
and the light will spread
