Planet Eater IV
Planet Eater IV
Truth is a lie and a curse to me. It reveals my real plans and those of my constituency.
I hate everyone, the poor need not feel left out. That vision I had of my eternal future was just a dream, of this I have no doubt.
Moving forward I secure all futures every tongue in every land. No stone left unturned before I stamp my mark into every man's forehead and hand.
How else can a ruler gain control? Money was just a catalyst, a stepping stone to your soul.
Credit is my key to your stagnation, whilst you scramble to repay I conquer your nation.
I am the "boogie man" under your bed, for I embrace the dark, the void, the dred.
Forget The King to me you will bow, you talk about your future in Heaven whilst I chain and bleed you now.
I know of your God, we have a mutual hate, my soul is unsalvageable and hell is my fate.
Your trees, your seas, your birds, your bees are mine and your faith is weak. Before I'm done I will issue you a gun and turn your fields into concrete.
So keep your God and give me your money, my iphone and xbox sold like bees on honey.
That building on 5th where your soul goes to feed, be careful of what you preach, I hold the deed.
Your words in government I cut like an ax, no longer exempt or free from tax.
