Le Carceri d'Invenzione - First Edition - 1750 - 08 - The Staircase with Trophies 6th plate By Giovanni Battista Piranesi - Leiden University, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=43465455

"We're out of order, your honor, you're out of order / This whole court is unimportant, you fuckers are walkin' corpses"

-

"Conditions create a villain givin' vision

The vision a vow to seek vengeance on all the vicious

Liars and politicians, profiteers of the prisons

The forehead engravers, enslavers of men and women

Includin' members of clergy that rule on you through religion"

-

We are all just pain

-

Electrical disruption

Kinetic spectrals

-

mortem usque ad occidentalem plagam

mortem ad orientalem

ego pervagantur valles et natare

in agris hoc est hoc est magnus

acervus magnus

Petrus shilton est optimus da mihi

analgesic nam

rectae Praesent

-

mortem ad orientalem

mortem usque ad occidentalem plagam

Lectio aliqua absentis

sed vere sine intellectus

-

acervus stercore sed

sonat callidus et eruditus

Thanks for reading!

Author's Notes: This for the Out of Order Challenge. The opening quotes are from the Run The Jewels song "Close Your Eyes (And Count to Fuck)" Featuring Zack de la Rocha of Rage Against The Machine fame.

The lovely Tanya Lei deserves a shout-out for helping to inspire some of the wordings and direction this took.
