Autocrazy

by hero

The world hates us,
Persecution,
We are alone,
We survive for,
As long as we can,
But one day...

We will,
Rise above them,
Crush them down,
Down to the ground beneath our feet,
We will,
Be the authorities,
And we will,
We will,
Crush ‘em all.

They call us delinquent,
They call us scum,
They call us riffraff,
Lowest of the low,
We cannot decide,
But we will unite,
Unite...

We will,
Rise above them,
Crush them down,
Down to the ground beneath our feet,
We will,
Be the authorities,
And we will,
We will,
Crush ‘em all.

And when we rule,
We will find,
The world changing to suit us,
And then I will strike,
Yeah I’ll stab them in the back-

I will,
Rise above them,
Crush them down,
Down to the ground beneath my feet,
I will,
Be the authority,
And I will,
I will,
Rise above them,
Crush them down,
Down to the ground beneath my feet,
I will,
Be the authority,
And I will,
I will, (I will)
Crush ‘em all.

Hello, Hero! I'm June, welcome to YWS!

Impressive! I enjoyed this-- I usually don't read lyrics, because I can never find a melody to place them to in my head, nor do I really enjoy them, but--

Here, I was able to read this and enjoy it. I could place this with something.

I do think a few more verses will be great, though. It seems a bit short, unless you have a lot of instrumental parts going here. ;)

Nice work, Hero. I'd like to see more of your work. :)

June
