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
