The Architect

They're burning Rome

So play along

To the violin's sweet song

Cast the call for liberty

Then line up for the Guillotine

Back to where

We're all unsure

We pick the poison

Loathe the cure

My God, what are we living for?

Machinery rot to the core

Bad bad apples

Toss the batch

Throw out the draft

And start from scratch.

There's nothing left here to dissect.

Crucify the architect.

God will save us

From humdrum

Is that him at the podium?

Why's he got a loaded gun?

Fire and ice, a world undone.

Back to where

We're sheep in line

Biting tongues and biding time.

Just following

The leader blind

Into slaughter for his crime

Bad bad shepherd

Getting caught

He lost the flock

And lost the plot.

It leaves little room for introspect

So crucify the architect

There's nothing left here to protect

So crucify the architect.
