Power

Has the ability
To destroy legions
Has the humility
To not discriminate

Power

It's a drug
So addicting
It's a bug
Always infecting

Power

Never loses
Never surrenders
Has to chose

Power

Drives people insane
Too profane

Total sterility
Will lead to hostility
So we act with agility
To escape conformity

Power

Must come today
Feel it in your vein
And try to slay
What begins to reign
Your every way
Like a chemical chain
That outta decay
Your thoughts
Ideas
Your mind

Power Is Power

Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
