Power And Control

Control and Power

Power and Control
In outstretched eager hands long idle
Always first in line to bribe the Devil
Rarely ever paying the toll
To hell with the common people
Sign away their collective soul
Now yours to command
Condemn
As you turn your back on them
Countdown to destruction
Ticking towards zero in the final hour
More monster than a hero
To the masses shriveling
Watch them cower
Before your displays of
Control and Power
Power and Control
The balance of which teeters
Begins to shift and sway
Swiftly swiveling
In every single direction
With the exception of your way
Ending up in the highest Ivory Tower
Where you can find the greatest leaders
Underneath their smiles and charm
Reside highly insecure individuals
Willing to risk the peace with harm
Desperately grabbing for handfuls
What they lacked up until now
So, be watchful
Ever mindful
In these dire times that we live
Above and beyond everything
Be careful of those who you would give
Control and Power

Power and Control
