Keep them in fear Keep them believing There is a veil covering their eyes Blinded by words you are speaking You mastered the art of deceiving You are just a wolf in sheep's clothing Tell them the stories Tell them of your deceit Mask the truth Feed them lies Keep them in control Keep them obedient To darkness you turn In flames you burn Tell them the stories of atrocities that have been Tell them of a suffering you've never seen Tell a lie enough times and it becomes the truth It's not a flaw in the system it's the design Tell them the stories Tell them of your deceit Mask the truth Feed them lies Spread the lies Distort the truth Fan the flames Of the fear campaign Why will you fight a war, if you have no enemy? An enemy of theirs is an enemy of yours? If you have no enemy, why will you fight a war? An enemy of theirs, now convinced they're yours Spread the lies Distort the truth Fan the flames Of the fear campaign First you make them fear Then you make them hate For leaders to control Start the fear campaign We've been called to war A fight that we may not win Silence is not a choice Fight the fear campaign First you make them fear Then you make them hate For leaders to control Start the fear campaign Fear I did not feel (We’re fighting the war) A fear instilled in me (We must win) This fear it is a disease (Wake up tonight) Consuming every being (Face your fear) Born with a heart that's pure Never knowing what is hate

They taught you to hate A hate that was not born in you Was the world always this cruel Or am I only just made aware Has the world been brought closer Now I see the fabric of humanity tear They build it, they build it The monolith of hatred They build it, they build it Brick by brick they built it. They build it, they build it The monolith of their hatred We may not be born of the same skin Indoctrinated into different religions False prophets breed false faith Feed you a poison you can't taste They built it now The monolith of hate They built it, they built it Brick by brick they built it They built it, they built it The monolith of their hatred The hate within you is the poison You and me we are not so different Hate is the cancer of human nature Slowly eroding, eternally rotting Passed through the generations unwavering Centuries of war, of blood that is spilling Brick by brick by brick The monolith of hatred They built it, they built it The monolith of their hatred The hate within you is the poison You and me we are not so different How did we get so far From that which makes us human? Why did we close our hearts And become so indifferent? We die on this day Our death will be the resistance Monolith Odium Rioters run amok Killing women and children The law turns a blind eye Choosing not to see The monolith of hate devours this world These are state sponsored killings The law turns a blind eye The goons of politicians doing their bidding Turn the narrative to suit your design Turn the victims into perpetrators How did we let the hate in our hearts? Now you see this darkness growing How did we lose our humanity With all the bloodshed and the killing?

Churning and churning Fake news unending The wheel keeps turning While the world is burning Build up mountains of lies That gullible minds believe Exploit stupidity Ignorance is rampant Sell your big fat lies Feed on their fear Exploit their hate and suppress the truth Weaponize disinformation Stop the truth Feed them lies Stop the truth Manipulate them At all cost Withhold the truth At all cost No expense must be spared Split them down the lines Choose one side or the other Sell them national pride All opposed are anti national Traitors, kill them all In death there is no glory Politicians never fight wars Only send soldiers to their graves Human beings A failing species Wake up, exist Rinse and repeat Continue believing Continue feeding The propaganda machine Create an echo chamber Fill it with lies Spreading through this world Like a cancer Abused technology Fragile Economy Divert attention from your failures Human beings A failing species Wake up, exist Rinse and repeat Continue believing Continue feeding The propaganda machine Destroy democracy Disrupt harmony Damage the fabric of our world Collapsing economy Starve the poor The consequence of war is only suffering

Welcome to the age of fake news To deliberately deceive Red pill, blue pill Feed the algorithm Strengthen all of your biases Undetected. Emotional. Binary Desired. Simple. Repetitive Armies of keyboard warriors Propagating hate Fabricating lies to Distract and deviate Paid for by money That has no trace Enrol the trolls Funded by the state Digital and manufactured hate Succumb to the propaganda The grey area in truth Information is a weapon If you can't prove it wrong it must be true Paint the world black and white Eliminate the shades of grey Paint the world black and white A colourless disarray The architect of propaganda A public enemy The architect of propaganda Just a cog in the wheel Controlling people's beliefs Denying reality Evade the issue and point the finger And hide the truth DIstract the masses, remain unseen The war of today is Not fought with weapons The art of disinformation A war in the world of information The architect of propaganda Finding the right scapegoat Assert your opinions as fact Revel in your delusions The architect of propaganda Subtly twisting the truth Infect the masses with Venomous hate you spew Who is the true enemy? How are you so blind? How do you not see? Just a pawn to political masters Like a sheep you are herded to slaughter Paint the world with the blood of the fallen In the name of the god your calling The art of disinformation, A war in the world of information The architect of propaganda Finding the right scapegoat Assert your opinions as fact Revel in your delusions The architect of propaganda Subtly twisting the truth Infect the masses with Venomous hate you spew Annihilating Truth

Our history is burdened With the weight of genocides Of battle, rape and bloodshed A scar that refuses to heal Time has not forgiven and Time will not forget The souls of a thousand dead Never laid to rest Screams of agony, their dying breath Centuries have passed And still nothing has changed Divide and rule was always and still is The name of the game Humans we are all one and the same Yet each one different by a twist of fate Nurture the mind, fill it with hate This child was born to indoctrinate Can't you hear the screams of those dying? It starts with a march, screaming and shouting Slogans that call for the killing Divided by religion, exploited by politicians Creating a hostile environment Exploit religion to suit your ways Twist the words like you twist the knife Burn their houses hear their deafening cries Helpless and unarmed they were burnt alive Screams, I hear them in my sleep The horrors that I've seen A nightmare that's never ending Memories that won't ever leave me History will remember And history will not forget The screams of those dying And the bodies lying dead Nurture the mind, fill it with hate This child was born to indoctrinate

Death and despair left in your wake Unimaginable killing factories Relentless subjugation of the oppressed Ethnic cleansing in the name of the country You rose through the ranks Your greed for absolute power No one dare stand in your way Your eye on the prize, the ultimate goal Turn Democracy into dictatorship Silence the voices of dissent (Silence the voices) Sentence those who speak against (Those who speak against) Every revolution must meet its end (Is this the end?) For I am inevitable (We won’t let it be) Inducted into extremists forces Taught their ideologies and their ways Brainwashed and turned into pawn Spread forth their politics of hate Silence (Silence the voices) Sentence (Those who speak against) The inevitable end Every revolution must meet its end For those with the burden hope is not lost Fire brings light to this darkness A world engulfed in the flames of your hate For this there is no forgiveness Your silence let them take me away Your silence led me to my grave Serve your master The minority hater Sacrifice the slaves To the great dictator Trample the spark It should not ignite the flame Sell them lies of better days A declaration that you won't fail Your promise is like bread gone stale Your words are empty, your actions betray Behold the rapture The dawn of a new day How can the words of one man Drive humans to so much hatred How did we lose our hope? And how did we lose our way? Behold the rapture The dawn of a new day Serve your master Sacrifice the slaves

Look at society through a microscope You will be horrified at what you see What was ripe has now turned to rot It is a cesspool of despicable human beings What is national pride if not Just another marketing tool? An accident of birth sold to you As your greatest achievement Sign you up and send you to war Sell you a dream of heroics Your greatest sacrifice with be your life Your death with be your legacy The voices must be louder Questioning the hate, question everything The voices must be heard And put the government into its place You sold your soul for the political goals Of theives and murderers Just empty promises to win your faith Forever keep you in fear Don't speak for the fallen don't speak for the dead It’s not your place Your silence makes you complicate The crimes are in your name The voices must be louder Questioning the hate, question everything The voices must be heard And put the government into its place Stand up for minorities Question authority Refuse to blindly hate I am anti-national I reject your dichotomy Your hateful ideology I stand for humanity I am anti-national I reject, I refuse Hold the mirror up to humanity The reflection that you see is so bleak What was right has now turned to rot What was right has decayed Stand up for minorities Question authority Refuse to blindly hate I am anti-national I reject your dichotomy Your hateful ideology I stand for humanity I am anti-national

We won't be silent for too long We won't be suffering forever It all ends now Enough is enough is enough We won't take no more Enough is enough is enough We won't, we won’t let it go Fire, the billowing smoke screen Blood, the colour runs deep Weaponize, gullible human beings Violence, the language you speak No one can hold such unbridled power We are secular, we are a democracy Many have fought and died for our freedom For this sacrifice we cannot accept defeat The fight is long and the fight is hard No one ever said that this would be easy We owe it to us, we owe to humanity To stand and fight, crushing the iron fist Crushing the Iron Fist Crushing tyranny Free from oppression, your hateful decree Crushing the Iron Fist Ending your tyranny No more shall you control, shall you deceive Crushing Destruction The battle rages on The fall of The battle rages on Impending doom Our spirit is unbreakable Our fight relentless Persevere against all odds Till our last breath till the very end You can kill the revolutionary But you can’t kill the revolution
