The Story of Your Enslavement

This is how, when and why
You've become a static minion
Shredded man

Always bowing down
Staying still
Voiceless sound
So hollow you are

Now you've held the mirror
Close enough to hide your halo
And ask

Have you wondered why
Few assert
Dominance
Over many and the One?

Tied, I am the cage
I am the star born, enchained
One, one with the Nine
Barely lucid, confined still

Nothing more than a name
Disposable, sleeping warrior
Reveille. This is you waking up
Helpless son
Shine now as you once did before

Tied, I am the cage
I am the star born, enchained
One, one with the Nine
Barely lucid, confined still

Survive, endure
Patience, I'm near
