Automaton

If in these times we wane or waver If those who question fall from favor The consequence could not be graver obscured is the terrible toll Manipulation is slow and unseen Lives controlled by a corrupt machine when no one remains who dare intervene Each person just playing their role Tyranny's voice deflects and maligns Propaganda alters the minds The terms of freedom redefined Automatons robbed of their souls
