Drawn And Quartered

from HYDRA OMNARIS (2014) by Alpha Ascension

lyrics

Darkness turns to light as the child is conceived
In the room of controlled deliverance.
Unknown voices assail the senses.
Hardwired to evolve past the early stages of weakness
the child's body matures into a deadly combat system.
Formed by the pre-existing common notions of man, the mind is receptive to all but the esoteric impulse.
Free from thought or self desire, the lapdog is ready to serve.
Conditioned and bred to enforce the mandates of the prevailing wills.
One face in a sea of blank slates, one of many acolytes.
Poised and prepared to drown the light of democracy.
The boy no more the man evolves into the implement.
Never knowing why he serves the fascist machinations, eternally lost, beaten and broken, drawn and quartered.
Invoking the wrath, drawing the ire of the free spirits.
Notions of sanity broken against walls of psychonditioning.
Without second thought as to the consequence, the demon child eradicates the hazards of free thought.
Systematically removing the threat of enlightenment and understanding.
Rewarded for his actions against the radical unbelievers.
Sweeping aside the old ways, burning the fields of hope, exterminating the vermin that cling to the fallacies of honor and archaic virtues.
No light shall touch this man of singular purpose and action, no man shall break his spirit of unceasing vengeance.
Tempered by hatred from conception to his final victory.
The demon from the depths unleashed to bring the world to order.
This beast assumes the role of judge, jury, executioner.
A waste of mankind's vast potential and promise.
