Safety
Breaking Chains: KnifeLighter's Anthem Against Power and Deceit
Lyrics
They reinvented the exit
Symbolic expression of changing the way out or finding a new path.
Flipped the board as soon we caught on
Responding to the new approach by changing the rules when discovered.
No matter how loud the cry they can't save our souls
Despite loud appeals, salvation is unattainable, as focus is on profits over souls.
They only save their profits
Highlighting a priority on financial gains rather than genuine care.
Claiming to utter the words of prophets
Falsely claiming to speak the words of prophets, possibly for manipulation.
Nothing but power hungry puppets
Leaders characterized as power-hungry puppets exploiting others.
who subsist on violence
Depicting a reliance on violence for sustenance.
Prey on the ignorant
Exploiting the uninformed for personal gain.
They widen the divide
Intentionally creating divisions among people.
False narratives fed the blind
Spreading false narratives to manipulate those who cannot see the truth.
Kind eyes shifted to be full of hatred and arrogance
Describing a transformation of kind eyes into ones filled with hatred and arrogance.
Hating my people simply because our existence
Expressing frustration with prejudice against the speaker's people solely for existing.
I'm so sick of it
Expressing strong dissatisfaction or fatigue with the current situation.
So sick of your power trip
Rejecting and condemning the abuse of power by those in control.
Of your ignorance
Expressing discontent with willful ignorance.
There's no more chasing safety
Rejecting the pursuit of safety, implying a need for change and resistance.
There's no tolerance for this
Declaring a lack of tolerance for the current situation or status quo.
You let the poison seep into your veins and it's a shame that it swayed you this way
Criticizing the acceptance of harmful ideologies that have influenced individuals negatively.
There's no tolerance for this
Reiterating the lack of tolerance for the existing undesirable conditions.
We won't be fed lies
Refusing to accept falsehoods or deceitful information.
We won't be fed anymore deceit
Rejecting any further manipulation or deception.
You mocked our cries
Accusing those in power of mocking the genuine concerns of the people.
So now you'll sow what you reap
Conveying a sense of retribution for the consequences of one's actions.
