The Edifice Grin

We must gain more power
Our ends are our means
We need more among us
to elevate me
If we venture outside
Bring them into our maze
They will listen to me
and be amazed
Taken from their lands
Brought into the fold
Sell them a freedom
Now they've been sold
Out! (x3)
A cloak conceals a dagger
A smile hides malaise
Solidify our future
Shrouded in a haze
(x2)
Come now my brethren
Leave no stone unturned
They are only children
Teach them to learn
Recruit the destitute
This is what they're for
A militant religion
Brutal to the core
The gods and I have spoken,
so lend me your ears
Provide me your bodies
I'll supply the fears
With mine! (x3)
A cloak conceals a dagger
A smile hides malaise
Solidify our future
Shrouded in a haze
(x2)
While we stand upon a higher ground,
we watch your ship go sinking
Demigods are what we are
We make you weak, but we are really weaker
Providing the problem and the solution
Once they've served their usefulness,
we will quickly discard
Dealing them a losing hand
while we held the winning card
All men are not created equal
Some are less
Some are less and some are more
They look to me as if I know everything,
when all I know
All I know is how to take them into war
Taken from their lands
Brought into the fold
Sell them a freedom
Now they've been sold
Out! (x3)
