Lyrics
Ageless lust for authority
Expressing an unending desire for power and control
Fading trust in its purity
Doubting the purity or integrity of the authority
Sworn to serve, those who pay the best
Pledging allegiance to those who offer the highest payment
Tough shit if you’re in the rest
Indifferent or unsympathetic attitude toward those not benefiting
We follow endlessly
Blindly following without questioning
We follow uselessly
Following without purpose or effectiveness
Abusing for the benefit of their own
Exploiting others for personal gain
Power hunger miscreating order
Desire for power leading to the creation of a distorted order
It’s all part of their business
Stating that exploitation is a fundamental aspect of their operations
It’s all above as below
Highlighting the interconnectedness of the system, mirroring the macrocosm and microcosm
Defy, Defy, Defy
An urging call to resist and oppose the established authority
Defy, Defy, Defy
-In the arms of their own law
Being subjected to the authority's laws and regulations
In the arms still the good ones fall
The innocent or virtuous suffering under the established order
We have to fight
An imperative to engage in a struggle or resistance
When nothing can ever be right
Expressing the frustration that nothing seems morally right
To stand above by asserting fear
Seeking dominance by instilling fear
For those who sacrifice to the force
Recognition for those who make sacrifices for the authority
For those who pay the price without a cause
Highlighting the unjust payment of a price without a just cause
All brace for killing
Preparing for violence or conflict
Armed to control
Being equipped to manipulate and dominate
By empowerment of the state
Empowerment of the state as a means of control
It’s all part of their business
Reiterating that exploitation is integral to their operations
It’s all above as below
Reemphasizing the interconnected nature of the system
Defy, Defy, Defy
Repeating the call to resist and defy the established order
Defy, Defy, Defy
-In the arms still the good ones fall
Revisiting the theme of the good suffering under the authority
We have to fight
Reaffirming the necessity to fight against perceived injustices
When nothing can ever be right
Expressing the futility of finding moral correctness
To stand above by asserting fear
Emphasizing dominance through instilling fear as a method of control
