The Arbiter |
| Leviathan devours all… |
| Nameless agents haunt the shadow world |
| Stateless numbers plan clandestine deeds |
| To the ranks of the long disappeared |
| They become your whole reality, your silencer, your lonely God |
| And across the Styx you’ll ride |
| When torture angels come to take you home |
| Simulated death endured, rope tears into wrists |
| Swollen head in blackened hood, blinded blistered face |
| Hang upright puking blood, routine torture test |
| As minions of the State have their way with you |
| Beaten, drugged, broken limbs |
| Burned, drowned, dissidents |
| The work of death, carried out, in all our names… again |
| «Rendition is not a problem» (until its you) |
| By what circumstances do we justify these means |
| To codify barbarity in practiced policy? |
| On pious, preached morality we’re fed until we choke |
| Our rhetoric, so righteous, rings a joke to the world |
| Power thirsts, power spreads, like tentacles from God |
| Secrets, inquests, illusions, and facades |
| Talons lock, as vultures flock, spreading from DC |
| Dropped on, Black Sites, erased from memory |
