The opening track sets the album's mood of a corrupt world.
The words
A world run by politics leaves no room for wisdom, love or peace.
The singer describes a world where politics governs everything and leaves no room for wisdom, love, mercy or peace. Each verse adds another virtue that has been pushed aside or locked away, building a picture of a society that has lost its moral center. The tone is blunt and bleak, delivered with steady force rather than outrage. The opening track sets the album's mood of a corrupt world, on a driving, insistent rhythm.
