PAWNS
Pawns of Progress: Unveiling Society's Sacrifices
Lyrics
Embracing the lairs
Embracing deception and falsehoods
While building empires
Simultaneously constructing powerful entities
Chosen self righteous scum
Individuals chosen as self-righteous and morally corrupt
Cheering the powers
Cheering for those in authority or control
Erecting the towers
Building tall structures or institutions
Blotting out the sun
Overshadowing and suppressing the natural or positive elements
We play the game
Engaging in the societal or political game
And it always remains the same
Despite efforts, the situation consistently remains unchanged
We are the pawns of progress
Being manipulated and used for the advancement of society
The sacrificial batteries
People as expendable resources for societal progress
Wake up
An urging to become aware and conscious
Wake up
A repeated call to awaken from a state of unawareness
Plugged into the machine
Connected and dependent on a dehumanizing system
Spending life reaching
Spending one's life pursuing materialistic goals
For what slips through the greed
Losing valuable aspects of life due to excessive greed
Lying to ourselves
Engaging in self-deception and denial
Destroying our health
Deteriorating personal well-being for the benefit of those in control
To please the masters we must feed
Sacrificing health to satisfy those in power
We play the game
Participating in societal games with no substantial change
And it always remains the same
Continued existence as tools for societal advancement
We are the pawns of progress
Reiteration of being pawns in the progression of society
The sacrificial batteries
Repetition of the idea of individuals as disposable tools
We play the game
Engaging in societal games with persistent stagnation
And it always remains the same
Consistent and unchanging nature of societal dynamics
We are the pawns of progress
Emphasis on individuals being pawns in societal progress
The sacrificial batteries
Reiteration of people as sacrificial elements for societal goals
We are the pawns
A final declaration of individuals as pawns in the larger scheme
