The Mercenary Revolution

The Mercenary Revolution

Faith under duress ,lasts long enough to make me smile
Grace sure to impress , especially on the firing line

Drained of all stable feelings I’ve ever known
Pray I’m strong enough to hold on
I’m glad I feature prominently in your scheme
Yes, even if it’s not so grand or wise

But don’t try to break my fuckin spirit
Since it’s keepin’ you from harm
You might well feel vindicated
But that’s a vagary of the damned

Open hearted though I may seem
A ruse I use to gauge your lies
No back handed comments needed
I’m quite aware you seethe inside

A battle brusing, ego wounding height of concern
Seems no limit what a nation buys
Enlist the faceless, nameless all too willing drones
Desperation corroding from inside

So don’t try to break their fuckin’ spirit
Since they’re keeping you from harm
You might well feel vindicated
But that’s a vagary of the damned

Unaccounted figures differ
We own the networks, they comply
All our files are transparent
New laws in place promote the lies

Better realise this won’t ever stop
Nation by nation sheds it’s tears
Where once they gained our power selling us the dream
Now they can only instill the fear

But don’t let them break your fuckin’ spirit
Since they’re only doing you harm
They might well feel vindicated
But that’s a vagary of the damned
