Your corporation stands at the top of the world, All those below you kneel at your feet. Swimming in your wake is an impossible feat, The only thing we can hope for is death to us all. Oh what a horrible sight, a vile delight, The crossing of paths leads us all at a loss. Will I sink? Will I swim? Will I simply succumb to the might, Of the Red Ribbon Army? The power, the greed, the sovereignty, Domination stands as a paramount goal. Murder, disease, conspiracy, What a tall order for such a short man. Your military believes you’re pure at heart, Standing for everything they’re fighting for. Yet your end goal in this game is simple height, Desire to tower is the folly of man. Deluding your men, denying their rights, Proving their skirmish is all for naught. You’re deserving your fate, all cruelty involved, A bullet through the brain is your destiny. Red ribbon.

Delusions 03:02
You’ll never make it out alive with all the misery you hold. You place all of your trust into higher powers to get your answers. And the answers you receive will be far from the ones you seek. You’re on a path without salvation; your nightmares will come true. Your faith has been founded upon fables and myth. If god has spoken, why is the world not convinced? The hands that help are far better than the lips that pray. Nothing is more absurd than the doctrine of the trinity. If we believe absurdities, we shall commit atrocities. Forget your savior, believe in yourself.

‘O captain, great captain, Can’t you see what you’re doing to us? You’re steering us even closer into the storm, Risking the lives of your loyal crew for your gold. Scream with me, mutiny! Make him bleed, butchery! To his knees, we’ll make him fall! We will bring an uprising! Is your greed strong enough to sacrifice yourself? You must realize that you won’t even be able to claim this prize. These waves can sweep you overboard before you even get close. If the waters don’t tame you, the winds surely will. You’re turning out to be our final deceiver. A lying pig led by desires of greed and self-worth. You’re steering us even closer into the storm, Risking the lives of your loyal crew for your gold. Scream with me, mutiny! Make him bleed, butchery! To his knees, we’ll make him fall! We will bring an uprising! Your unjust reign has finally come to an end. We can live for a new golden age, a new time of glory. Captain, captain, great captain. Captain, captain, captain, great captain.

Recovery 03:36
Don’t limit your challenges, challenge your limits. Push beyond the possible and make no compromises. You need to breathe, you need to see, you need to realize The only way to move on is to take my advice. I told you to wait for me; I said I’ll help you through your misery. I told you that I’d be there; I’d get you over this bump in the road. It’s a difficult path, a worthwhile end to a miserable route. This road will carry us home, so just push your way through. Don’t limit your challenges, challenge your limits. Push beyond the possible and make no compromises. You need to breathe, you need to see, you need to realize The only way to move on is to take my advice. The road to recovery Is paved with temptations, Just keep to yourself, Uphold your control. Leaving your state of comfort may be intimidating, but bear with the fear. It’s worth it to prevail and overcome this torture. They never said that this road will be easy, If you’re not careful you’ll stumble and fall. They never said that this road will be easy, If you’re not careful you’ll stumble and fall. Think of the future before you decide to give up, Expose yourself to danger if you want to make a change. You may be afraid of getting burned, go ahead, dive into the fire. It’s the only way to change your life; it’s the only way to make it through. I am your savior, the gatekeeper. The keyholder to your destiny.

Cosa Nostra 03:06
The wolves are clawing, clawing at your door, Coming to silence your much-needed gospel. The repo men of the alley, threatened by your words, They’ll make you swallow your tongue to avoid confession. They’ll present you with anything (To keep your mouth shut) The masses enslaved, to believe what’s in the news. Programs handled with uncompromising bias. “Our concern is for the citizens” That should be revised to serve your own advantage. (Keeping their cover intact is the highest goal) They disguise their self-serving as serving the masses Generosity: the mask of narcissism. We claim to have freedoms, a God-given right. But the land of the free is a mockery. The wolves are clawing, clawing at your door, Coming to silence your much-needed gospel. They’ll present you with anything (To keep your mouth shut) The masses enslaved, to believe what’s in the news. Programs handled with uncompromising bias. “Our concern is for the citizens” That should be revised to serve your own advantage. (Anything to keep them mighty in public eye.) Put in the vein of doing what’s right, The greater good is just not good enough. One false move means curtains for us, Locked behind bars, unconstitutional. Of the people, By the people, For the people, We’re not equal. This is not what our founding fathers dreamt of.
