On a pedestal built on the backs of others
A marionette rules, irreproachable and inviolable
The base of power inherited unequal and unjust.
Remnants from a bygone past, still supported by the backs of others
[Chorus:]
Nepotism in absurdum - living on merits long gone
Might and influence - from a feudal society bygone
Nepotism in absurdum - living on merits long gone
Might and influence - gone since long. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/carnal_grief/crown_of_might.html ]
An undeserved respect and obedience from their subjects
Originating from oppression and cohesion.
Realize that they're obsolete figures, they're hindering our progress
Let's evolve from these remnants and move on.
[Chorus:]
Nepotism in absurdum - living on merits long gone
Might and influence - from a feudal society bygone
Nepotism in absurdum - living on merits long gone
Might and influence - gone since long.
