Congress of Dread

I am an envoy of the masses,
Of every color, creed, and class is.
Who's in charge? It's hard to say,
But I know one thing for sure today:

Politics is a dangerous game,
A power struggle with no shame.
Red tanks, Star Wars, strategic gain,
It's the people who suffer the pain.

I say “Hello” to the participants of Congress of Dread!

Bookworms and desk rats crawl
While steppe wolves and watchdogs howl
At the sight of red gleams and war's dread
As dragons of conflict raise their fiery head

To say “Hello” to all participants of Congress of Dread!

Only time dances the dance of the broken lines,
Hi-Grunts sip their tea, praising external strifes
Trying to wrap people's love as a global excess.
Better sex than Int(ernational)-Ex(cess)
Better sex than Int(ernational)-Ex(cess)

I say “Hello” to the participants of Congress of Dread

The composition embodies the image of an era of speaking heads, shaping destinies, imposing fear as an absolute mechanism of control. This fear must be resisted. It is no coincidence that this song previously opened the album "Be not Afraid" - a legend about the lost 11th biblical commandment.

Do you feel the heavy footsteps of history? Do you tremble at the roar of its steps? We have once again been fortunate to live in interesting times. So let us greet it loudly and boldly.
