The Grotesque Reset

by I Dream of Apocalypse

about

The staggering incompetence and mediocrity of our ruling class is equaled only by the brazenness of their corruption. "The Grotesque Reset" reflects IDOA's utter disillusionment at the cancerous state of American politics.

At the same time, this ambitious song is a demonstration of how death metal, when done right, is the total package. Composition, performance, sculpting a sound, audio production, and lyrics all handled by members of the band to bring a creative vision to life.

So just remember, when your adversaries only have decorum and lies... they need you more than you need them!

lyrics

Fortify through inversion

Two-party septic system
flush human dreams away
Swamp filth, verbal diarrhea
stalagmites piling high

Their false hearts
full of darkness
Obscuring cloak
of self-righteousness

Formalities over function
the structure as smokescreen
Change agent, world misleader
such arrogant disdain

They’re just a clump
of agendas
Allies in service
of subversion

The soulless
selling their souls
The gutless playing God
Uto-peon
power-mad pawns

The ends justify
the ruins they leave
The Great Reset
their new religion

They want you to suck
their decorum
We're choking on
the hypocrisy

Lies
All lies

Coercion
Compulsion
Dysfunction
Destruction
Control!

Demonic crusade
to plunge the world
into the Age of Envy

Zero-year revolution
Build walls
or dig mass graves

Platitudes as policy
Scheduling instability

Fear-based philosophy
Perpetual commotion
political machine

Behold the banality
of everyone
and everything

Our ruling class of mediocrities
The cult is the personality
