"Obedience is not enough.

We are not content even with the most abject submission.

Power is tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.

Did I not tell you, that we are different from the persecutors of the past? So long as the heretic resists us, we never destroy him.

We eliminate resistance within.

As we drain you out, you lash out and fight your neighbours with contemplation.

You deem it normal – no! you deem it righteous even.

Such weak scum.

Praying for peace yet scrambling for war!

How can they know what they’re fighting for?

It’s a race for themselves yet the gain is for us!

I’ve been telling them endlessly: “One final push!”

My will is their will! No reason needed, just pure fucking will!

Adjust their mindset, make them to machines! They are heartless but loyal, like I had them breed.

…and they never ask why…

Obeying and slaying, all on my behalf. Get rid of betrayers, there is only us!

Have them believe that it’s right what they’ve been told!

Show them the fire and tell them it’s cold.

…And if they ask why;

…what’s two and two?

If the answer’s four…

They shall not defy!

Gain from the ache, find the beauty within your mind.

All you have read, all you have seen, let it merge together.

Go deep into your soul and find the true meaning of yourself.

As your pain reveals devotion and love, you see me!

Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating?

A world of fear and treachery and torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon.

Love and affection are but a distant fairytale.

Only the defective would seek something that is long gone.

But you know better now.

I am the future, I am the past.

Look to the sky and realize;

With flesh and mind;

You are me!
