witheren - captains of industry lyrics
“we live in capitalism. its power seems inescapable. so did the divine right of kings.”
captains of industry
perform their alchemy:
turning life to death
and into cash machines
just sign the contract, no strings attached
like a broken violin:
cast aside and tuneless
once you’ve served their purpose here
profit soars as empire scores
accounts grow as ink fills the forms
bro-hymns roar. smash down doors
children scream as blood stains the floors
crushed under the boethian wheel
lost in history’s steel mills:
seems the cycles never end
seems the wounds’ll never heal
but under the whips and scorn of time
every empire will decline:
soldiers in line and gods up high
one by one they all will die
as the last resort of kings
comes crashing down, bows and slings;
kneel in the dust and dream
of the day that we’ll all say:
goodbye! farewell to industry
let the captains sink down with their fleets
a thousand years’ patrimony
comes collapsing at our feet
from the pedestals they’ll fall
battlements toppled from their walls
monuments burned to the ground
tagged artifacts museum-bound…
as the coffins sink to the ground
