Zeitgeist

Tonight I looked into

An overdue doubt

Of mythic proportions

So come check it out

Of this federal system

Reserving its heist

For the terrified hostages'

Crisis zeitgeist

These zodiac killers

Who keep turning pages

In all of these doctrines

Is one for the ages

Immaculate in

It's deception conceptions

Omnipotent forces

Controlling elections

And rigging the game

For the bishops and crooks

To build their empires

On stacks of these books

Which sell like hot cakes

They claimed were the towers

Of ivory patriots

Sharing their powers

When really the lies

Are as old as the story

Enslaving the masses

Since gold, god, and glory

First hungered for many

A few white horse christians

Waging their wars

Through apocalypse fictions

Then spreading the plagues

With addictive distractions

Dividing the factions

With taxing subtractions

And billing our rights

Constituting their claim

Must govern the people

In image and name

In his kingdom of fear

No home for the brave

When freedom is buried

In salvation's grave

Dug for the masses

And martyr's who bled

From the hole fatal truth

In the back of their head
