Beyond Necropolitics

from Imperium Mortalia by Dismal Aura

lyrics

In guarded towers
Beyond the walls
Of class and colour
The count goes on
Enumeration
Of human lives
Who serve no purpose
Beads on a wire

Calculations of worthlessness
Who lives, who dies
Souls at the mercy of the abacus
Subjugating life
To the power of death

Inscribed by order
Subjects by birth
Assigning numbers
Assessing worth
In these conditions
What space is left
For human lives,
Gasping for breath?

Calculations of worthlessness
Who lives, who dies?
Souls at the mercy of the abacus
Subjugating life
To the power of death

Beyond Laws and state
Beyond Bureaucracy
Beyond Biopower
Beyond: therein lies the hope

Conceived in darkness
Ideas born
Of a timeless reverie
As long as chains
Bind the world
So burns the will
To set it free
Free from

Calculations of worthlessness
Of who lives and who dies
Souls at the mercy of the abacus
Always subjugating life
To the power of death
