Fear in Power
Fear in Power: A Harrowing Tale of Authority and Consequence
Lyrics
Stand on the backs of the weak
Exploiting and oppressing those who are vulnerable
Dropping bombs while they sleep
Engaging in destructive actions without remorse or consideration
Set the standard now
Establishing a precedent for the public to witness
For the world to see
Displaying actions for the world to witness and judge
Cower in the corners
Retreating and hiding in fear and darkness
Escaping from the light
Avoiding exposure to truth and scrutiny
When the fear begins
When fear arises, lives will come to an end
Lives will end
People who act cowardly will meet their demise
Cowards in their caves
Those who fear hide in isolation
Cities turn to waste
Cities become ruined due to the actions of the fearful
Followers in body bags
Followers of a particular ideology suffer fatal consequences
Nihilistic holy land
A land that lacks purpose or meaning
It all goes away
Everything eventually disappears
Never seen again
Irreversible disappearance, never to be seen again
Means to an end
Actions taken as a means to achieve an end
Forcing of a false faith
Imposing a false belief system through coercion
Liars to incarcerate
Deceptive individuals being confined
Nowhere to run
No escape, facing consequences
It’s all the same in your final hours
Similar outcomes for everyone in their final moments
None considered safe when there’s fear in power
No safety when those in power are driven by fear
Build the caskets to welcome the masses
Creating coffins to accommodate the numerous victims
Sheeps in the heard murdered for practice
Innocent individuals treated as expendable
Shower the mourners
Mourning the loss of lives while hidden in darkness
Behind the clouds at night
Symbolic representation of the concealment of atrocities
Children die
The innocent, especially children, becoming victims
Feed the lie
Perpetuating falsehoods leading to death
Dying in the streets
Death occurring openly in the streets
Prayers obsolete
Prayers becoming ineffective and irrelevant
Battlefield of bullshit
A battleground filled with deceptive rhetoric
Sacrificed in censorship
Sacrificed in the suppression of information
It all goes away
Similar to line 13, emphasizing the transient nature of everything
Masochistic dreams
Pleasure derived from pain and suffering
Birth of the obscene
Origin of morally offensive and obscene ideas
Brothers kill one another
Siblings turning against each other in violence
Executing law and order
Enforcing authority with lethal consequences
Make it stop
Plea to end the cycle of destruction
It’s all the same in your final hours
Reiterating the inevitability of similar outcomes for everyone
None considered safe when there’s fear in power
Security is elusive when fear governs those in power
Build the caskets to welcome the masses
Preparing for the mass casualties with more coffins
Watch as your world burns into ashes
Witnessing the world crumble and burn
Hell on earth has found us waiting
A metaphorical description of a world in chaos
Life in the dark while light is fading
Living in darkness as the light of hope diminishes
Die quick or survive in pain
A choice between swift death or prolonged suffering
Nothing matters now, it’s all the same
Life loses significance, everything becomes uniform
It’s all the same in your final hours
Reiteration of the inevitable similarity in final moments
None considered safe when there’s fear in power
No one is exempt from danger when fear rules
Build your casket and take your last breath
Symbolic preparation for the inevitable end
Sealed and sentenced to the land of death
Condemned and sealed to a fate of death
