Lyrics
And it all went quiet in the city
Quietness fell over the city, a sense of calm prevailed
And the wind blew down the road
The wind blew along the street
Someone cried out "Subvert"
Someone shouted or exclaimed "Subvert"
And the people all went cold
The people reacted with a sudden chill or shock
Subvert, subvert, subvert, SUBVERT
Repeated emphasis on the concept of subversion
Meanwhile back in Subvert City
Meanwhile, in a place named Subvert City
Someone's writing on the wall
Someone is writing a message on a wall
"Fuck the government" spray-paint hero
A person is hailed as a hero for defacing the government symbolically with graffiti
Someone wants the state to fall
Someone desires the collapse of the government
Religious dogma crucified
Religious beliefs are criticized or attacked
Ritual slaughter, no one lied
There's an indication of violent acts without deception
Living standards were dying morals
Declining moral values alongside deteriorating living standards
A state-controlled mass suicide
A scenario of a mass suicide controlled by the state
The dying breed of Subvert City
A dying population within Subvert City
Crept into the underground
The population went underground, into hiding
The state police just left them there
The authorities abandoned the underground population
Blocked the holes, and gassed them down
The authorities sealed off the hiding spots and used gas against the people
Ten years later they emerged
After a decade, the survivors emerged
Mutated minds so full of hate
The survivors had transformed minds filled with hatred
Tried again to change the system
They attempted once more to alter the system
But this time round it was too late
However, at this point, it was too late for any change
There was no system left to change
The system they sought to change had ceased to exist
The people ran the entire land
The population governed themselves
The subverts became politicians
The former subversives became part of the political structure
And finally got the upper hand
Ultimately, they gained superiority or advantage
Meanwhile back in Subvert City
Returning to the situation in Subvert City
Someone's writing on the wall
Similar scene of graffiti on walls against the government
"Fuck the government" spray-paint hero
Another hero defacing the government with graffiti
But in Subvert City, it's subvert rule
In Subvert City, the rule or power is held by those who subvert or undermine
Subvert, subvert, subvert, SUBVERT
Continued emphasis on the concept of subversion
