History Is Rotten
Rotten Echoes: Unveiling Truth in Forgotten History
Lyrics
Sleepwalking through our spoon-fed lives
Society moves through life unconsciously and obediently.
As evidence of times before
Remnants of past eras serve as proof or reminders.
In chapters long forgotten
Details from forgotten parts of history.
The rotting tombs of history are written by the victors
Historical accounts are biased and shaped by those who emerge victorious.
Empty words are staring back as paragraphs of power leave
Words from those in power hold no substance; they lack sincerity.
No traces of the toiler's fate (just one massacre to many, and none too late)
No evidence exists of the struggles of the common worker (except for numerous massacres that occurred).
All glory comes from death
Glory often emerges from death and destruction.
Desensitized in unreal fiction forms
People are desensitized by consuming unrealistic fictional content.
Our leaders never die, it's the working poor that fight their wars
Politicians and leaders avoid death by sending the poor to fight their wars.
It is written? It is rotten, their truth is dead and rotting
The proclaimed truth is corrupted and decaying.
With decades passing and nothing changing
Despite time passing, there's no meaningful change.
The hourglass grows empty again
The time available for change is running out.
Tunnel visions and career clowns
Narrow perspectives and frivolous individuals in positions of influence.
Send ivory towers crumbling down
The structures of power and privilege are collapsing.
The pulse is fading
The life force or essence is diminishing.
The axe is falling
Consequences are imminent.
Another tragedy unfolds
Another disastrous event is unfolding.
The moral standard
The ethical norms have degraded.
The status quote
The current state of affairs or accepted behavior.
The carcasses of millions left in their wake
Countless casualties are left behind by those in power.
The paper bound in books that glorify the acts of murderers will burn just
Literature glorifying killers will eventually be destroyed like fallen empires.
Like all empires that have come before
Empires and systems of power eventually collapse.
Five hundred years dead, cold and efficient they carry out their plan, indoctrinate
Efficient systems devoid of emotion persist for centuries, indoctrinating the young.
The youth to the textbook wasteland
Youth are educated within a barren educational system.
As patriots empowered
Those loyal to the country are given authority.
They coronate themselves
The powerful enthrone themselves.
Breed us on their lies
We are raised on falsehoods.
And they feed us to the wolves
We are sacrificed or abandoned to face danger.
