Lyrics

Believing our fate is dictated

Expressing a belief that our destiny is determined

By that of which it was created

Suggesting that our fate is influenced by its creator

Leaves the human struggle unmediated

Highlighting the raw and unmediated nature of human struggle

Leaving destiny separated

Describing a separation of destiny

Between the isolated and manipulated

Pointing to a divide between those isolated and those manipulated


The human spirit deteriorated

Depicting a deterioration of the human spirit

By fear of being castigated

Describing the decay caused by the fear of punishment

For refusing to bow to thrones predicated

Referring to the resistance against submitting to predetermined authorities

By the falsely consecrated

Pointing to thrones built on false consecration


Under human rule we are dominated

Expressing domination under human rule

The more indoctrinated, the more emaciated

Linking indoctrination to physical and spiritual depletion


As we adopt blind faith

Describing the adoption of blind faith

We disregard thought and choose to obey

Emphasizing the disregard for critical thought in favor of obedience


The choice lies with the manipulated

Highlighting the choice faced by the manipulated

Whether to be incarcerated or emancipated

Presenting the alternatives of imprisonment or liberation

Power reinstated

Suggesting a restoration of power

To the people now back where it originated

Connecting power to its origin among the people

Rehabilitated

All power eliminated

Describing the elimination of all forms of power

All wealth circulated

Expressing a circulation of wealth among all

All thrones eradicated

Calling for the eradication of authoritative structures

All humanity rehabilitated

Embrace thought and never obey

Encouraging the embrace of critical thought over blind obedience
