Despot Lyrics
Waking in this state
the world seems strange to me
How can something so beautiful
shine on something so dreadful?
Realized this too late
You sell them short for what they are
One day they'll show you what they are
Leave it to us to tape our mouths
The silence will add more to release
Cause talking has become a taboo
If only they knew the power they had
I wake up and find myself unstable
I'm hoping that this world is just a fable
How can something so beautiful
Shine on something so dreadful?
The hunger necessitates the slaves
To fasten and redirect their waves
One day the silence will be torn
Despoil these social straps we've worn
I wake up and find myself unstable
I'm hoping that this world is just a fable
How can something so beautiful
Shine on something so dreadful?
How can something so beautiful
Shine on something so dreadful?
If only they knew the power they had
You sell them short
You sell them short
I wake up and find myself unstable
I'm hoping that this world is just a fable
How can something so beautiful
Shine on something so dreadful?
How can something so beautiful
Shine on something so dreadful?
How can something so beautiful
Shine on something so dreadful?
Realized it's too late to fight it
Realized it's too late.
the world seems strange to me
How can something so beautiful
shine on something so dreadful?
You sell them short for what they are
One day they'll show you what they are
Leave it to us to tape our mouths
The silence will add more to release
Cause talking has become a taboo
If only they knew the power they had
I'm hoping that this world is just a fable
How can something so beautiful
Shine on something so dreadful?
To fasten and redirect their waves
One day the silence will be torn
Despoil these social straps we've worn
I'm hoping that this world is just a fable
How can something so beautiful
Shine on something so dreadful?
Shine on something so dreadful?
If only they knew the power they had
You sell them short
I'm hoping that this world is just a fable
How can something so beautiful
Shine on something so dreadful?
Shine on something so dreadful?
How can something so beautiful
Shine on something so dreadful?
Realized it's too late.

Amazing song! Same type of social political comments, pretty staright forward. We have the power to change this world, don't leave it till it's too late.
Aye, this song really kicks ass. Too bad practically no one knows about it. It's the only thing I've heard by Pulse Ultra.
This song is talking about the world and how hopeless and horrible it is, but at the same time it is talking about the girl that he loves and how he doesn't think he is worth it. At least, that's what I think.
