[Verse 1]

Lately I’ve become the tyrant

I’ll bludgeon all who dare oppose me

Every whisper is a needle

Pressed into my skin

Order will become the ointment

To appease the jilted masses

And silence will become the banner

A herald of what’s to come

[Pre-Chorus]

We must drag the bodies from the river

Before you start to question me

[Chorus 1]

I am the consequence of this disconnection

The prophet of your demise

I am the product of this misdirection

A harbinger and I’ll cut you down to size

[Verse 2]

Someone had to wear the mantle

To keep these factions from colliding

Should I have left you to spit at each other?

No, I had to intervene

I’ll give you ample motivation

To embrace my wild suggestions

This is exactly what you asked for

And I’m happy to oblige

[Chorus 2]

I am the consequence of this disconnection

The prophet of your demise

I am the product of this misdirection

A harbinger of what is to come

[Bridge]

Greeted by silence

I begin my address

(I answer to no-one)

(I answer to no-one)

[Verse 3]

Thank you all for your attendance

Your support is duly noted

Someone had to cut away the cancer

Try to salvage what remains

[Outro]

Eye for an eye

Eye for an eye

Eye for an eye

Throw more petrol on the fire
