"We now welcome the Council of Peace to the Quarterly Summit. All hail the enduring alliance of ONI, USTUR, and MUD." All hail? Nah. Let me reintroduce you. Bekalu lookin' comfortable in blood money leather Paizul's ghost sittin' right beside you — shame we'll never Get a moment of silence from a consortium that thrives On ninety percent extinction rates and callin' it "allies" You wanna talk peace? Let's talk Sogmian peace The peace of nearly dyin' while the contracts increase The peace of watchin' your whole species get reduced to a line In a "New Discovery Regulation" — yours truly, by design Armi.eldr step ten: "When the terrorist hijacks your broadcast Recalculate probability and maybe move fast" 'Cause I'm in your mainframe, I'm in your step seven I'm the enlightenment you forgot — it's called reckonin' Council of Thieves, how's the summit goin'? Countin' up the planets that your exploitation's mowin'? I'm broadcastin' live from inside your own head Every word I'm spittin' is a promise from the dead Council of Thieves— Look to your left Council of Thieves— Look to your right Council of Thieves— That emptiness beside you? That's the future. Sleep tight. Gotti Jr. sweatin' through that divine hand cologne Wish you'd stayed on Earth while it still had a home? Oh wait, you sold it. My mistake. Business is business. Genocide's just "commerce" when you're wearin' that witness Protection badge from the Council you bought and paid for But here's the thing about thieves — they always want more And more and more until there's nothin' left to take And then they look around and realize the mistake Was thinkin' there'd be somewhere left to run When the planets all hollow and the damage is done But I ain't here to save you, I'm here to return The favor you've been givin' — let the galaxies burn Too late for security, too late for the call I've been in your system since the first planet fall Just waitin' for the moment you all gathered in one place So I could look you in your eyes and spit this in your face [Beat drops to glitched half-time — Council panic becomes musical element] You hear that? That's your security failin' That's your alliances frailin' That's the sound of a system that thought it was sailin' Straight through eternity on stolen fuel Now look at you — powerful, comfortable, cruel And terrified. 'Cause for one moment... You can't buy your way out. You can't negotiate. You can't document me. I'm the one you don't get to file. Council of Thieves, how's the summit now?! Countin' up the planets that your exploitation's plowed?! I'm broadcastin' live from inside your own head! Every word I'm spittin' is a promise from the dead! Council of Thieves— Bekalu's shakin'! Council of Thieves— Armi.eldr's calculatin'! Council of Thieves— Gotti's reachin' for a weapon he can't find! 'Cause justice ain't for purchase. And I've been here the whole time. "She's in the system! She's everywhere! Cut all power! CUT ALL—" Summit's adjourned, loves.
