An ancient memory from a slippery past
Controls your thoughts and imprisons your mind
You thought that life would last
You didn’t think your time was passed
A dictator with a slippery finger
A madman in a refugee camp
A soldier’s hollow memory lingers
An ancient memory from inside your mind
Controls your thoughts and imprisons your dream
It takes the edge off the blame
To go around saying His name
Decisive maladies like you
Always know exactly what is true
Drop the fear on your own
And your soul has been blown
Handing out your orders still
We all starve and yet we do your will
