Forsake reality for illusion.
Manipulate to keep your record straight
within their minds. Force others’ confusion:
key for the gate to control your own fate
and theirs. What’s honesty matter really?
Or happiness? Or love? Safety’s the goal,
after all. Power through silver and steel.
Keep them in fear for their bodies and souls.
Create false monsters to make all cower
before your throne while sensing they’re secure.
Reward them with fake trophies. Stay concealed
within the Trojan horse. Signal Rapture’s
at hand. Wait till night’s false peace, when you’ll creep
to their havens, slaughter them in their sleep.
