Listen and Obey

Silent words and invisible smiles now,
Rule the tiny world under your dark cowl, 
Teach its people to fear you, it's success!
Drain all the pus from this horrid abscess!

The heart is a weak fool, pay it no mind, 
It cannot rescue you while in a bind, 
Obey, listen and don't incite any waves, 
You'll only rise to power when you're slaves.

Accept things as they are and move on, boys
Blind your eyes and be drunk on my bright toys
Be loyal in exchange for pasty pearls,
Who are you to change this nightmarish world?

This is the only way to build a nation,
You cannot win against my tradition.
