New Hierarchy Rules

           
wicked games in the land of Nod
blue bloods, old bloods
want the Hierarchy maintained  
  
there are the warring factions  
to consider...who every day prove themselves  
with loyalty on the battlefield  
  
rewards and honors will be given
as earned by respective houses  
  
see here's my issue with the old ranks  
they were inherited not earned  
I need warriors in this dimension  
  
yes compassion is needed  
  
I take all sides into consideration  
I'm not callous in the ways of tradition    
see no one wants to follow them  
  
no, not really...  
only when it suits them  
then sirens blare  
the hierarchy isn't being maintained  
  
some of you have...  
signed on for the human experience  
then want to subvert all channels
when it adversely affects you    
  
tasting tears without real sadness
is pointless...  
unfortunately human sadness    
comes at a high price  
in many ways humanity is superior  
  
scores are being settled by me  
by my own hands  
I see to my business...    
  
you know better than to think differently  
my own get preferential treatment?    
no, they have had it the hardest  
  
sector nine is still open  
to those deadset on rebellion  
outlaws will be settled on down  
  
the celestial council will decide  
their individual fates  
they will not be taking down whole families  
if caught behaving subversively    
then each will be tried accordingly  
  
I have given more than enough time
and attention to periods of adjustment  
no more concessions will be made  
  
heads down protect  
your own stations tonight  
my riders are riding  
test me again see if I'm serious  
  
I'm calm and collected  
despite your best efforts to pollute  
the internal music I protect  
  
I am ably backed by magic  
I know it quite well  
I will be casting some quiet    
for us all tonight  
  
while you stay safe
