about

The fool determines that citizens are cowards, craving the despotic rule of tyrants to spare them the anxiety of true democratic freedom. There is no prospect of revolution from the proletariat. Only the enlightened usurper, can save the people from themselves.

lyrics

The Emperor


I hear what you want
I hear what you want
I hear what you want
Tell us what we want

I've got what you need
I've got what you need
I've got what you need
Give us what we need

I know how you think
I know how you think
I know how you think
Tell us what to think

I feel what you feel
I feel what you feel
I feel what you feel
Show us what is real

Oratory refined to forthright nonsense
Speculations issued as fact
Hubris passing for wisdom
A circumlocution explaining nothing

Sharpened knives bring your fall
Not a piece remains at all

I hear what you want
I hear what you want
I hear what you want
Tell us what we want

I've got what you need
I've got what you need
I've got what you need
Give us what we need

I know how you think
I know how you think
I know how you think
Tell us what to think

I feel what you feel
I feel what you feel
I feel what you feel
Show us what is real

Swarmed by the credulous and the short-sighted
Become sceptics after the fact
Disguise their shame with vengeance
To depose, humiliate and then defile

Sport for their capricious whim
Torn apart limb from limb

Capitalism breeds sociopaths
Socialism is a lie
Society craves a despot
Shielding citizens from life

The strong man crushes all dissention
Assumes freedom's terror
Sanctified by venerable myth
Become the nation's hero

The stupid released from culpability
Spared ambition from the indolent
Dissolved in impotent dreams
Life without meaning, death unseen

Frivolous distractions
Vanity's delusion
Subdues a class of knaves
Dull and content
Induced to breed
A race of willing slaves
