lyrics

Arcane Knowledge

Imposed ideology shiny and glittering
Effortlessly navigating inquiry
Evading questions under scrutiny
Demagogues spewing misinformation
Deception expunging the wisdom of the centuries

Of late I’ve suffered feelings of uneasiness
Regarding our current state of affairs
Fervour has rendered logic meaningless
Entitlement negating compassion
First World forcing on all humanity its greediness

I’ve arcane knowledge of what happens when we go to war
Beyond mere history you may have read
Cull revelation from a page of long-forgotten lore
Stop living lies that you’ve been fed

Now more than any other time in history
I’m haunted by images in my head
Consequences of reason’s mutiny
Liberty auctioned to highest bidder
The wealth of nations taxed by legislated misery

Long ago and far away
There might be a place that’s safe for us to stay
Peace might not survive to fight another day

I’ve arcane knowledge of what happens when we go to war
Beyond the history you’ve been read
Cull revelation from the pages of forgotten lore
Shit out the lies that you’ve been fed

Recoil in horror knowing what the future has in store
Foreboding fills my soul with dread
Nations compelled to up the ante and even up the score
Filling their coffers with their dead

I’ve arcane knowledge of where we go when we wage our wars
Places mere mortals fear to tread
Must we keep making the same mistakes that we’ve made before
Can’t we do something else instead?
