Lyrics
First there came a mass
Introduction of a mass event
Brilliant lights of flash
Intense and sudden lights
All across the president's skies
Spread across the president's skies
As he sits and laughs
The president's indifferent reaction
He preaches non-conformity
President advocates non-conformity
I don't think they see
People may not realize his influence
They live for him and what he believes
People live for the president's beliefs
A wrath of misery
Resulting in a wrath of misery
Left to die alone
People abandoned to die alone
In their living past
Left in their past, abandoned by society
As he takes their lives away
The president takes their lives away
To never get it back
Permanently losing what they had
No more need for society
No need for societal norms
All the lives he took
President responsible for many deaths
The fault of law and majority
Fault lies in the laws and majority
Rules in an open book
Rules are like an open book
Leave me alone
Plea to be left alone
Don't take it away
Desire not to lose something
A place where I know
A known place threatened to be taken away
They're destined to take away
Anticipation of loss
Now the lives they lead
Lives now filled with shattered dreams
Are left to broken dreams
Broken dreams define their existence
Just when they thought
Loss just when they felt fulfilled
They had it all
A sudden and unexpected loss
Life's not what it seems
Reality differs from appearances
He preaches non-conformity
President continues advocating non-conformity
I don't think they see
People may still not grasp his influence
They live for him and what he believes
Living for the president's beliefs leads to misery
A life of misery
A life dominated by misery
Leave me alone
Repeat plea to be left alone
Don't take it away
Reiteration of the fear of loss
A place where I know
Repetition of the threatened loss
They're destined to take away
Continued anticipation of loss
Don't take away
Emphatic plea not to take away society
Society
Direct mention of society
Day by day - There'll come a day
Warning of an impending day of reckoning
Day by day - You're gonna pay
Repetition of the inevitability of payment
Day by day a day of reckoning
Reiteration of an approaching day of reckoning
Day by day a day of reckoning
Repetition, emphasizing the inevitable reckoning
You're all gonna pay
Emphasis on everyone facing consequences
You can't get away
Assertion that escape is impossible
