if forgiveness meant anything, they would obey

if guilt carried any weight, truth would comply

a sky torn sunder, crushing endlessly

spare none but the night

non-responsive, slow awakening, worship end of days

make your choice count

do as you're told

if resistance held any sway, the palace burns

a house disordered, is to be conquered, there is no other way

there is none, no morality, no god will save

there is no punishment, there is no justice, only willingness, ready to obey

make your choice count

do as you're told

it wasn't me, I was paid for.
