Peculate - Imperial Heartbeats, Pt. I lyrics

The global chain industry Must capitalize It must control everything around it Lest it stifle potential profit The global chain industry Must accumulate Capital, labor Nature, lives The global chain industry Must expand or die Resources might be confined To a planet that is finite But the chain industry demands Infinite growth Infinite gains To not heed its commands would prove A most dire mistake— The world might lose its chains Empire has a heartbeat You can hear it if you just Stay quiet and listen Empire has a heartbeat You can hear it if you just Work hard and stay obedient Fret not The global chain industry Is a conscientious one Imperial heartbeats Omnipresent Always beating Omnivorous Always eating Imperial heartbeats are the Sounds of its subjects Trying to breath Trying to live Palpitations of stifled life Stifled life Or stifled profit? Choose one (The question is Whose life? Whose profit?) Palpitations of stifled profit Imperial heartbeats Beat the life Out of you Listen Can you hear? That's the sound of freedom Freedom upon the horizon Can you feel it? Pain is weakness leaving the body— The body That same vessel empire beats like a drum In a desperate attempt to show some sign of life Any at all Repeat after me
