Empire
The Named Lyrics

God save the empire!
I pray for the continued success and domination of the empire.

of glory
A place where excellence and success are the only things of value.

and riches
Where wealth is the ultimate reward for those who deserve it.

and freedom unrestrained
Where there are no constraints or limits on what one can do as long as they are powerful and privileged.

where there is always someone else below me
A society where the strong always oppress the weak, and where hierarchy is never questioned or changed.

to bare the mark and name
To bear the permanent label of inferiority and worthlessness in the eyes of society.

of less then, inferior, deserving of their plight
A society where the poor and the weak are blamed for their own suffering and are considered unworthy of success or happiness.

so that I should occupy my privileged place by a natural right
The powerful justify their own dominance as being natural, deserved, and ordained by God.

the stupid, the ugly
Those who are deemed unfit by society due to their lack of intelligence, attractiveness, or status.

they get what they deserve
The weak and the poor suffer because they deserve it due to their inherent flaws and faults.

lives in the ghetto
The poor and marginalized are forced to live in segregated, impoverished communities.

and children born to serve
Those who are born into poverty are destined to remain there and serve the wealthy and powerful.

thank god
Praising God for creating and maintaining the institutions of society that ensure the success of the privileged few.

for his institutions
The institutions of society that ensure the powerful remain in power and the weak remain oppressed.

mirrored here on earth

in which we measure
Society measures a person's value and worth based on their ability to succeed in these institutions.

the strength of character
Values such as perseverance, strength, and determination are the criteria for measuring a person's worth and value.

and determine one man's worth
Judging one's worth as a human being is solely based on their ability to succeed in the institutions of society.

The elite must be replenished
The powerful must ensure their own survival and dominance by cultivating elites to take their place.

with shining protectors, sure in faith
The elite must be made up of people who are loyal and committed to maintaining the status quo of the society.

legions of reasoning men
People who can think logically and strategically are desired as protectors of the elite and the society.

to keep the Other in its subservient place
The elite must use force and oppression to keep the weaker, marginalized groups in their place as servants and inferiors.

the filth, the chaos
People who are poor or marginalized are seen as dirty, disorderly and inferior.

masked by the whiteness
White people have the privilege to mask their own filth and chaos which presents socially as a superiority complex.

the light does not exist in
The society does not accept the light of truth or knowledge.

the presence of blindness
The society is overwhelmingly ignorant and rejects new ideas or viewpoints.

Genetics
The new strategy for keeping the inferior races oppressed.

the modern fashion
Science-driven strategy of genetic elitism is the current ideology.

of old and wicked lies
The concept that genes determine an individual’s worth is a misguided idea that originates from the beliefs of the past.(older times)

science replaces the supernatural
Workings of genetics stand as the main doctrine that beats the mystical and the supernatural.

in the role to justify
Science is being used to as a reason or a cause to maintain the elite’s power over the society.

where there is poverty, blame the body
The society blames one's physical deficiencies for their financial incapacity.

the system must be obscured
The hidden motives of the society must be kept away from the public's knowledge.

and when the sickness becomes exposed
If the brutality of the society is exposed to the public, the regime will cover up their actions.

that same science peddles the toxic cure
The elite use the illusion of science to divert the public from the truth and offer solutions that do permanent harm to the oppressed.

the brain, the blood
To belong in society, one needs to have proper mental and physical functions.

must behave
One must obey and conform to the society's norms and values.

maintain the balance
To uphold society's natural order and hierarchy.

the happy slave
Those who follow their society's order and rules, irrespective of their condition, are also a burden on society for not speaking against oppression.

Nothing can save it now
The society is beyond any help, and there is no solution for the oppressed.
