The Mandate Kings and Queens

A lone voice whispers....


With vacant empty stares and desolate soul crushing goals


They who love to stand on podiums to talk and preach


Those who'd like to paint the globe in anxious red paint 


Creating drum beats of suspicion to all within their reach


And then instruct mandates that could make a sane man faint 


For people to comply for their own safety 

With a straight face 


Pretending they aren't tainted 

Corrupted or even classed as crazy 


But in reality

The masses now wilfully mesmerised and gleefully enrolled


Are just restrained like prisoners in orange jumpsuits

By those they've put in control


Because of this and their devoted followers  


Who through social media 

Feel they can openly criticise whilst on patrol

 

This continuous talk of death and fear 

The threat of shedding so many unfortunate tears


Makes them listen to those issuing instructions even more


But beyond the limitations of all that seemingly hypnotising Fear

There is still hope

 

Hope in the divine knowledge 

Of a new freedom


Once we go outside their strict walls and rigid ramblings


Breaking free from their cleverly crafted paradigms 

Linked to isolation and confinement 


Trying to imprison all those poor souls listening 

As they read from their new Dead Sea Scrolls 


We can each still create a new kingdom of our own

By keeping our faith and looking between the lies


Whilst tearing up labels and testimonies from those corrupted dark trolls


Just following hidden instructions 

From the ghouls 

Who are really in the know


Members of secret societies whose motto is simply  

Money and greed


What they do not know is 

"Radix Malorum Est Cupiditas" 


A Biblical quotation in Latin 
Which means "greed is the root of evil"
 


Which will be the mantra of the Devils Men when they come


And all they'll hear when their time is called 

And to 9th Circle be driven by the hell hounds as they are recalled


Where they'll suffer into eternally

When their pitiful souls over hot coals are hauled


Keep the faith
Better days are coming your way


Your life has never been just another commodity 

That can be easily bought and sold



If you never agree 
to put it up for sale
