Texty

Towards the end of the feast The devil decided He was so inspired He couldnt be bothered With giving no prizes In fact he said He would just retire Cause he could see That what was required To keep our children living in fire Could be supplied by these thieves and these liars Who had respectable titles And so he pronounced that he would bounce Go back to hell as his house Cosign his work to these thieves Like it was just an ounce We dont know what was said But still live with the effects Of what was agreed By degree That night at the banquet of thieves The gist is this The devil bestowed All of the power for ruling the globe Only to those who would sell their soul And take the devilish oath: "I solemnly swear to steal and kill Not because I'm hungry for meals But because my hundreds of millions I want to see turn into billions Solemnly swear to make a place Where women and children are raped every day Where some eat ourselves to death And others cant get a crumb on a plate Solemnly swear to turn this globe Into a living hell for most And drug with death Anything left That grows or has a pulse" The monarchs and dictators Religious leaders and the bankers Had one more course before they could complete the banquet Screaming and panting Baby children were brought on plates The end of the tantrums came When they were stabbed through the heart with a stake Chopped into peices And served raw With the blood still warm The thieves gobbled down the children Without a second thought The devil explained If ever they got to a place Where they suffered pain Or the slightest of shame For killing a child They should leave the game Cause the noblest aim Was to turn a childs flesh to flames For a hollow concept For a profit So known as personal gain The devil explained There is a god Death is his name So treat the life as if it were nothing more than a monopoly game So get to work Theres people to starve And people to slaughter And new souls to torture Any rebellious son or daughter If ever you fail Or find yourselves getting too frail An angry devil will be forced to return from the comfort of hell All of the thieves got up from their seats And gave the devil applause Babys blood dripping through thier jaws Totally reddened the floor With that the devil vanished And left the thieves in his palace The banker was the first to speak about How they could meet the challenge "Look my fellow theives As long as we unite on a scheme We'll be living the dream Theres never been a team this mean" "Yes spiritual death is what ill provide at the devils behest" "Monarchs can make the laws and the courts That will serve and protect Our interests and nothing else Commoners can fuck themself Cause we all see Democracy would just fuck up our wealth" "Thats where I can add some value To this??? I can kill in broad daylight I dont have to pretend I can do all the things that all you rich developed countries cant be seen to do in public But we all know you love it" "Yes and we can pretend were enemies And make war on each other Though it couldnt be further from the truth We are practically lovers" "You're quite right mr. banker Deception must be used Ill hire prostitutes To spread our views And call it news Another set of prostitutes to call themselves artists To say what we tell them to Spineless bastards" "Religious leader, thou art a wonderful thief The last thing that we do need before our schemes complete Is a set of puppet of politicians Who talk a lot The people think hold the power But they're really our dogs" "Yes yes yes yes Oh fucking yes Let us drink to murder and theft Until there's nothing left" The thieves took a toast Of warm blood And nearly drowned in laughter The bankers passed out a charter That they had carefully drafted For the international organization Of theft and murder "If we could sign this in blood That would be totally perfect" Thats what they did They used a childs bleeding finger To sign a commitment To keep the human spirit a prisoner Thats how its been since then A cannibalistic system Run by thieves dressed in death Blessed be the devils wisdom
