A Text Message To The So-called Emporer Lyrics - Project 86

For too long cast aside, stripped of dignity, opportunity 

Countless sleepless days in underestimation 

But under these anxious, darkening heavens 

No word goes unheard 

And no deed is without compensation 

When the workers come to collect their wages 

Now the straw men are swaying in the distance 

The have-nots calling in the listless wind 

Whispering for retribution 

Waiting for some voice to call them 

From the bottom where you left them 

So onward friends from our battered homes 

Forward to the onrush of cast stones, crushed bones 

And the gallows
