Hammer and Fickle

Communicate
In this world of flagrant lies
Illuminate
Where the light descends to die.
Assimilate
Those pieces that qualify
Eradicate
That which threatens to defy.
All around the numerous peons
Bowed to deify their liege,
In a world blood-drenched with war and terror
A new hope came to set them free.
The battles fought had ruined the land,
Distrust was felt from sea to sea,
Now a new plot to make equals of all
Gives them hope to raise an army.

Be one with the hopes of the land.
Feel weak no more.
In the new world order
Fear will not stop us, evermore.

Eliminate
The stains of governments past
Anticipate
All the threats from wide and far.
Accumulate
The experience of the tsars
Elucidate
The masses with the works of Marx.
Her eyes, they shone like twin radiant suns
With a lustre of bistre so deep in doctrine.
Her smirk spread wide 'cross her porcelain guise,
With malice writ large in defiance of her mien.
Unfurled behind her stature serene,
A flag dyed red with the blood of the freed.
To raise up the weak, make right what is wrong,
Mireille stood up to announce her decree.

The proletariat gathered round
To witness the end of their strife.
The upper echelons within their ivory towers,
Brought to their knees by the strikes.

Emancipate
Those workers who toil for naught
Administrate
O'er the sizeable empire wrought.
Assassinate
The enemies we recently fought
Humiliate
Other countries now of power distraught.
Revolution!
