Grandfather On the Throne

Grandfather on the throne
Groaning and regifting 
Promises like passing pleas
Why subscribe to this disease?
Death will come like it always has
Through birth another delivery

Fear and theft 
Change the world 
The projection is a dream
With your eyes you cannot see
The barrier from you to me
Hope is all a stage
The drama comes to indoctrinate 

Search for greener pastors
What we forgot is what we got
Desire is an entrance
