The One Forty-Four



The earth isn't flat
It sure isn't round
It's a pyramid with all the evil sitting on top
They sure look pretty glowing in greed
That's about to change

You profit and gain
Off our suffering
You steal our organs, but
Where do they go
Pump poison into our veins
While, we slowly fade in your cloud of debt

Well, the first shall be last
The last shall he first
It's been sealed
The One Forty-Four

You're the ones, no one sees
Hiding in the shadows
While, playing puppets
You devour on stage
It's not fair; it's not right

Well, the first shall be last
The last shall be first
It's been sealed
The One Forty-Four
 
This is the battle for the ages
It's not the end
of a
barrel of the gun
It's only just begun

The first shall be last
The last shall be first
It's been sealed
The One Forty-Four
