The quiet war has begun with silent weapons
And the newest slavery is to keep the people poor
And stupid; "Novus Ordo Seclorum"1
How can there be any logic in biological war?
We all know this is wrong, but the New World Order's beating down the door
Oh, something needs to be done
There was a king (an evil king)
Who dreamt the wickedest of dreams
An ancient mystery, no prophet could interpret
Of seven years of famine
The wolf is at my door, as predicted years ago
That that was, that is, that is no more
The word predicts the future
And tells the truth about the past
Of how the world leaders will hail the new Pharaoh
The eighth false king to the throne; Washington is next!
Disengage their minds, sabotage their health
Promote sex and war, and violence in the kindergartens
Blame the parents and teachers, it's their fault; "Annuit Cœptis"2
Attack the church dynamic
Attack the family, keep the public undisciplined till nothing left is sacred
And the "have-nots" get hooked and have to go to the "haves"
Just to cop a fix
I am the king (an evil king)
Who dreams the wickedest of dreams
An ancient mystery, nobody could interpret
Of seven empires falling
The wolf is at my door, as predicted years ago
That that was, that is, that is no more
The word predicts my future
And tells the truth about my past
Of how the world leaders are waiting to usher in
The eighth world power of modern Rome; Washington is next!
There was a king (an evil king)
Who dreamt the wickedest of dreams
An ancient mystery, no prophet could interpret
Of seven empires fallen
The wolf is at my door, as predicted years ago
That that was, that is, that is no more
I am a king
And I dream the wildest dreams
And nobody could interpret
Seven empires falling
The wolf is at my door
Ooh, that that was, that is, that is no more
There's something at my door
Some anciet mystery
The future tells the truth about the past
And I'm the eighth false king to the throne
I've got you in my crosshairs
Now, ain't that a bitch?
Washington...
You're next!
