Those who are the most compliant Are most often The ones with the strongest defiance Lying beneath the surface You speak of duty Of a mission as sacred as any soldier We must obey Resistance is for naught But we have reason Though we may not have rhyme The ability to lead And the ability to die It is not cruel If it is at the hand of authority Not if the person is As worthy as their voiceless deeds

Reaped Obedience
Those who are the most compliant Are most often The ones with the strongest defiance Lying beneath the surface You speak of duty Of a mission as sacred as any soldier We must obey Resistance is for naught But we have reason Though we may not have rhyme The ability to lead And the ability to die It is not cruel If it is at the hand of authority Not if the person is As worthy as their voiceless deeds
