about

Peace Through Tyranny is the second single for my Hip-Hop EP, Mics of Cybertron! This experimental Hip-Hop Nerdcore track was produced by CatsEye2TheCosmos and shows the Decepticon perspective of the Great War from the oppressed to revolutionaries to tyrannical warmongers, claiming their destiny is to conquer the Universe!

lyrics

Oppression…
starts micro aggressions
Ignoring the concerns
that cause our depression
The cause and effect
That causes rejection
Of an ideology that doesn’t
par with your message
You peddle your lies for power
But coward and hide
Behind enforcers and sentinels
That do what they’d like!
Do what you want...
but I highly advise
That you reconsider what you do
That’s hurting our lives
Cause you might not too happy
If we put up a fight
It’s the kind of stuff we do
That keeps you up all night!
In gladiatorial pits
a leader with rise!
To start revolution
For every robot in disguise
We were built for conquest
...Not this frivolous nonsense
Don’t get mad cause I’m conscious
Of the fact you want to stagger my progress
..If you really want peace
Let us rule in the process

[HOOK]
I see it clearly You’re not hearing me
...You don’t take us seriously
Unless you’re fearing me
You haven’t seen a revolution like this
Pick a side or die
We gon take it to the end of the line!
Fusion cannons locked and loaded and ready to fight!
No mercy! Seekers up in the sky!
Instruments of destruction...you’re not seeing me
The only way to survive
is peace through tyranny!

(Megatron Quote)
The revolution was not only televised
Our communication officer made sure it was worldwide
Took the Apex armor off of Sentinel Prime
Used it as a throne watching light fade from eyes.
Went to crystal city to recruit a new team
Bent them to my will and made them fight Omega Supreme
You started this war! It’s time for finish it.
Resources on the planet diminishing.
But we’re aren’t giving in!
Capture your fiercest warriors for Shockwaves experiments!
I am not stopping!....
And if I take the world with me then that is my problem!
Not bad for someone you tried to break that started from the bottom!

[HOOK]
I see it clearly You’re not hearing me
...You don’t take us seriously
Unless you’re fearing me
You haven’t seen a revolution like this
Pick a side or die
We gon take it to the end of the line!
Fusion cannons locked and loaded and ready to fight!
No mercy! Seekers up in the sky!
Instruments of destruction...you’re not seeing me
The only way to survive is peace through tyranny!

Scramble!...
You only talk peace when you’re out of ammo!
The illusion of freedom is canceled!
Do whatever it takes! Doesn’t matter anymore, even if I lose my soul!...
...Sell it to the devil for a new alternative mode!
And I don’t give a damn...if planet explodes!
I will take another planet...and bleed it dry!
Whatever it takes to...just to feed my Empire!
There’s a handful that said I might have been out of line
But they really didn’t even survive!
Gotta a second in command that’s treacherous than I
To alleviate any surprise...it keeps me alive!
(Megatron Quote)
