No King But Caesar Lyrics

It's why we seek a faction to control
Like fratricide capitulate but never hold
Defeating our own interests to the mean
And deliver us from what we can't define or see
Define or see

Conflating everything into a prayer that doesn't mean a thing
That you can reconcile or dismiss away
Condoning genocide as if there is no conscience left inside your soul
And from this legacy you prosper

When violence breeds indifference we are lost
Release a plague upon us but defer the cost
With rabid eyes and profits clenched between our teeth
Quickly patronize and shift the blame ignoring grief
Ignoring grief

Conflating everything into a prayer that doesn't mean a thing
That you can reconcile or dismiss away Condoning genocide as if there is no conscience left inside your soul
And from this legacy you prosper

But we don't talk about it desensitize the process
I've stared into the darkness for far too long
Deny the endless suffering politicize our conscience
Just feed us we'll believe it until it's gone

(Our time) We advertise as proper
(Is running short) You play the good consumer
(To save our future) Don't speak a word in protest
(Our last resort) Stare and obey

(A place in time) Consume the earth and burn it
(To make our stand) Eradicate potential
(In this defiance) Dismiss inconsequential
(Just take my hand) Morality
