Monolithic

Oh our great monolith, birthed
From crossed out eyes and iron fists
Slovenly it writhes, child of the
Despots and indifferent
Fractured foundations, groan
And buckle beneath it's dead weight
Until it all comes crashing down
Chorused by the silence of apathy
Until it burns

Our lost children to wander amongst
The ashes of dismembered lambs
To inhale the cancerous ether
Breathe deep their foul inheritance
Nail the faceless to the cross and let them rot for all to see

While to every ear forked tongue whispers salivate
Satiate the sheep with blotted
Dreams and watch them slumber
Until it all comes crashing down
Echoed by sacrificial screams
Until it burns

The most miserable bequeathing
Generational rot from hand to hand
To inhale the cancerous ether
Breathe deep their foul inheritance
As skull and jaw bone separate
Like freedoms dissected dissipate
This does not have to be our fate
If we understand that silence is defeat

Through gagged mouths and broken teeth
Pounding chests and defiant hearts beneath
We must remember that we control our destiny
For tomorrow, together we shall be
We shall rewrite history
If we remember, silence is defeat
