The Autocrat by Desponder Lyrics

A restoration of emotions
New-found strength in awareness

A lucid assimilation and coherence
Acquiescent handle of primal devices
In preparation I compartmentalize

Sifting through the inner machinations of subconsciousness
Soliciting the passage to interrogate the autocrat
Decode and interpret the intent of the selectors
A quest to discover, to resolve, to kill

All senses cease I fall into nothingness
Lacking control of my rapidly spiraling mental state
My alleged strength

Compromised by the dread and imminent paralyzation
I push forth
I must confront this juggernaut

A quest to discover, to resolve
A quest to discover, to kill
Are you a god and if you are why cast this burden on me
Is there an overarching ultimatum present or is it despicably arbitrary
If you are simply just sophisticated evolution
I have means to discover weaknesses
Deficiencies to lay you with this mortal coil

A foolish presumption
Your race is fickle
Inherently antagonistic
Driven by emotions
Using invalid consensus as fodder for aggrandizement

Delusions of grandeur clouding your minds
Convinced of your own superiority
Reluctant to break from primitive ideologies
Truth burned in the fires of denial

A wrong path to prosperity

Fascism hiding behind illusions of righteousness
Few see the hypocrisy
Society dangerously lacking of skepticism
A failing species, an evolutionary cul-de-sac

I ask you my child, to be a higher being
This was not a curse, but a blessing
Now neglect your humanity
Detach your invested emotions
Needless to say, you haven't a choice
I release you from the burden of existential dread
