Imperium

You say you cherish freedom,
and want to spread it all abroad.
You say you come in peace,
but you only bring the sword.

You speak of liberty for all,
then you take it all away.
You say you come to bring the light,
then make darkness of the day.

You torture, rape and murder,
but it's something you deplore.
You say you're fighting terror,
when terror is your core.

You say you want a better world.
Your lies are turning sour.
You say you stand for justice,
but what you really want is power.
