"Non per Imperium (Striking the Coals to Conflagration)"

Just close your eyes tightly as
you're to their slaughter led;
this didn't need be - the voices
having been testifying vehemently -
if ears clogged by ignorance hadn't
been and eyes sewn-shut would
fucking rip-out the red-tape-stitches

Don't play the victim; we've all
been guilty of complacence and
gimps, relying upon bastardized
governments... baptizing you in
their waters of subversion

Don't feign fucking innocence;
we've all leisurely become of
them, codependents...

BUT I'M FUCKING DONE

I've already ripped out my stitches
and am...

"Non per Imperium"

Fucking sever the goddamned
sinews that tether you and enjoin
you by them...

We're not "Bone of their Bones
and Flesh of their Flesh"

The whole systems corrupted
and fucked from the shoulders
up to the head...

So

Don't play the victim; we've all
been guilty of complacence and
have been gimps, relying upon
bastardized governments...
baptizing you in their waters of
subversion

Don't feign fucking innocence;
we've all leisurely become of
them, codependents...

BUT I'M FUCKING DONE

I've already ripped out my stitches
and am...

"Non per Imperium"

But You (this I know to be true)
love this nation, only tis the way
they've created it, and procreated
you by it so that...

You've closed your eyes tightly
and are being to their slaughter
led; this didn't need be - the voices
having been testifying vehemently -
if ears clogged by ignorance hadn't
been and eyes sewn-shut would
fucking rip-out the red-tape-stitches

BUT I'M FUCKING DONE

I've already ripped out my constrictions
and the tourniquet that they've placed
upon my mind has been removed so I
can think freely and testify to...
