(mysterious intro, spoken ramblings by Matt)nnOur leaders write the roles from behind masked facesnAlways hiding the reality of their true intentionsnAnd like puppets we act out the rolesnOf a tragedy that never endsnAnd the plot always thickens as the death rate quickensnAnd the human soul sickens with war always the means to the endnSo how many times must Rome burn nBefore the crucial lesson of history is learned?nPower kills, destroy everything that power buildsnYou're sucked into place by your own admittancenSelf imposed enslavement nAnd though you curse your king how can it mean anythingnWhen you worship cult of leadership?nIt takes only one to lead but must the rest of us follow?nThe whole is but the sum of it's partsnDo you act that part do you fit that part?nAnd how many times will we rebuild RomenOnly to watch it burn?nPower is deathn(Death is power)nThese are the elements of oppression
