Titus

Titus stands alone against the church against the throne
Against the state against the clinic
Against the academy and the market
Against the individual and the family
The circus and the sideshow
The intelligence community, the judiciary, and the press
Titus is misunderstood can't make himself clear is a bumbling mess
Masquerading as Lear
Absent the mind to lose
Plus unspeakable power
Leveraged against itself
Like a debt we know will never be paid
Like fire breathing horses trampling the town
Devouring whole cities turning people into clowns
The world is melting and no one noticed
It's forty degrees indoors
The cinema's a wasteland of apocalypses yet to come
i hear you calling for me Titus
I hear you howling for the dawn
You harbinger of the end of all
You unwitting
You undoer
God Emperor Pawn
of the Potlatch of Time
You froth to pull the chariot
Your saliva corrupts the chalice
Having sabotaged the wheat stocks
We are coming for your children

Teach them nothing is real
Without a leg to stand on
Dollars dictate television
Just like you on their devices
Only faster, only better
You must know our only last hope
To teach them value
To teach them meaning
And to learn, Titus, to change
But you're broke and don't vote so it's a big joke, good Lord, Titus,
Victor and Victim
Your pilgrimage to Helsinki
Before your Lord and Savior
Neither lion nor lamb nor serpent nor fish fowl insect reptile
What animal but human could court such madness from the gods?
O Titus
Hear my appeal
In spite of you
I will love again
O Titus
You only work for Satan
You're just a cruel joke
Waiting for rock and roll to extinguish the last of your kind
