Most often, monsters in the real world look like ordinary people. They walk among us. They smile for the cameras. They promise protection and prosperity even as they feed on fear and obedience.

One King Down - Defiance

My eyes close tighter
To wish it all away
No one will be left
To take the blame

Other let each other sink deeper
Into the unbroken cycle of self slavery
One day will come when all will see
It's all the same

Uncovered freezing
In the depths of your mind, so alone
Exposed unbroken
Against this wind and sun

Defiance

Nothing will change
Innocent children remain as slaves
The truth denied and their lies
Burn me alive

I kneel before you
Wed to this edge for life
It has become my inner self
My true self

It's me

https://youtu.be/UbdAU4HKdOo

108 - I Defy

Call it a lie
Call it a crutch
Call it denial
Say it's an escape It's only the fear sought
To beguile
Say I've lost my tear
Say I've lost my self doubt
Say I've lost my life
Say I've copped out
I defy you
Soul is reality
Regardless of what your beliefs may be
Experiments? Proof?
But are you brave enough to enter the laboratory?
Transcendence perceived but will you open your eyes?
A searcher, but are you willing to find?
Or just remain content
Wrapped tight in popular lies

Say no one can know; well how do you know that
Say there is no truth; then your statement's false
