VOG - Enthroned Rulers

They write the laws that rule our days, Call it choice, but set the ways Different masks, the same command, Power held by unseen hands This isn’t power of the people now, It’s hollow thrones and paper crowns You call it duty, call it fate, But fixed systems never translate You can vote, you can comply, But every path is pre-designed Control dressed up as destiny, Participation dies quietly This isn’t power of the people now, It’s hollow thrones and paper crowns You call it duty, call it fate, But fixed systems never translate Empires fall, the logic stays, New flags rise, same old chains Fear just learned a cleaner face, Distance grew between state and base This isn’t power of the people now, No vote, no shout can break it down The throne may fall, the names may fade, But power learns... And power stays.
