The Edifice Grin

Cynthesis
We must gain more power
Our ends are our means
We need more among us to elevate me
If we venture outside, bring them into our maze,
they will listen to me and be amazed
Taken from their lands, brought into the fold
Sell them a freedom, now they've been sold
Out! (x3)
A cloak conceals a dagger, a smile hides malaise
Solidify our future, shrouded in a haze
(x2)
Come now my brethren, leave no stone unturned
They are only children
Teach them to learn
Recruit the destitute, this is what they're for
A militant religion, brutal to the core
The gods and I have spoken, so lend me your ears
Provide me your bodies, I'll supply the fears
With mine! (x3)
A cloak conceals a dagger, a smile hides malaise
Solidify our future, shrouded in a haze
(x2)
While we stand upon a higher ground,
we watch your ship go sinking
Demigods are what we are
We make you weak, but we are really weaker
Providing the problem and the solution
Once they've served their usefulness,
we will quickly discard,
dealing them a losing hand
while we held the winning card
All men are not created equal
Some are less...some are less and some are more
They look to me as if I know everything,
when all I know...all I know
is how to take them into war
Taken from their lands, brought into the fold
Sell them a freedom, now they've been sold
Out! (x3)
