Tarquinius

on the backs of the crushed, you've built this system
power doesn't yield to ethical questions
so you tow the party line, pulling it taut
as it wraps around the throats of its victims

top of the food chain

apex predatory male
hear you roar, lead the herd out for the kill
breeding season marked by the blood you spill

you call it a rite of passage
you think it's yours for the taking

one hand holding two

one hand silencing
you wield power like a weapon
and don't think twice,
it's the thrill of the hunt
one hand holding two
