Nocturnus - AQUATICA

AQUATICA

In the future year - 2023 
Multinational warlords - build an aquatic colony 
In the struggle for - total domination 
Corporate powers - move in to take control 
 
Stratagem inset 
Manipulate the opposition 
Wrath of devastation 
to reduce life status 
 
Martial law declared - surveilance over the colonies 
Wage and mayhem - put to an end momentarily 
Resolving confrontations - over territorial disputes 
Battles break out - when negotiations crumble 
 
Charred remains 
washing to the shore 
Escaped ones flee 
to the surface 
 
Vessels patrol 
the ocean floor 
Maintaining border dominion 
through eradication of organisms 
 
Sea and surface life 
All is sacrificed 
In quest for 
reign of the deep 
 
Whosoever 
masters the seas 
the last remaining frontier 
gains the wealth locked in the brine 
 
Precious minerals sought - by the surface 
Hostile takeover of - the mining communities 
Stormtroopers of technology 
Careful to maintain nitrogen balance 
Surgically removing 
the enemy within 
 
New leaders create - order out of chaos 
A civilization - beneath the depths 
Arson of power 
conquering the oceans - Forming imbalance 
Particles react 
Expire life from - the precious seas 
Thresholds mend 
Sludge chain reaction - melts them down again 
Depth charge 
Destabilizing crust - and floor 
Instructed probes 
Sear the water from - the toxic veil 
Weapons system 
Tear the living - from their glory 
Vandal masters 
carving up - the biosystem 
Submerged deep 
Fatal dictatorship - of the seas 
 
(spoken verse) 
Surface dwellers tremble 
from a new superpower 
Superior intellect choosing 
Base in the seas 
Systematically eliminating 
All who do not take heed 
Stench of the aftermath 
confirms Aquaticas victory 
 
No longer shall there be 
any separations between cultures 
Remaining survivors cast into a 
melting pot of conglomerate slavery 
Absolute extinction of the once 
praised heroic patriot 
Lands of solid ground turned into 
a biodegradable human wastleland 
Pay homage to the ocean 
where the kingdom now dwells 
Aquatica, the submerged city
