lyrics

I am a shaman, borne out of frustration
I hold an ideal with a front of convention
Then came a vision, an image of prosperity
An approach to the modern age, an alternative reality
I used to be wasteful, I couldn’t see past my navel
A blind acceptance of a meaningless existence
I need direction, I am on a mission
I need structure in my life at this juncture

A New Kind of Discipline

From aspiration a realised potential
I sold a concept, and recruited thousands of people
They bought the idea, another way to spend their lucre
Quasi-religious, and the money was prestigious
I swallowed virgins, mothers and older women
I feasted on them and brought them right back up again
No time for sympathy, no time for ideal apathy
A grand distortion of perceptions of morality

A New Kind of Discipline

This whole movement exceeded expectations
We held stockpiles of various munitions
No sense of piety, a rejection of society
My megalomania escalates beyond all measure
Three years later, getting ready to meet my maker
We had an agreement, a mutual understanding
I brought disciples in a vessel of my own making
They were beholden to whatever was in store for them

A New Kind of Discipline
