Even today, modern politicians are educated by what's been dubbed a "manual of statecraft", penned by the so-called Father of Modern Political Philosophy and Political Science, the 16th century Venetian, Niccolò Machiavelli. 

In Machiavelli's book, The Prince, they are taught that no matter how evil the means that they employ are, to achieve victory, the ends will justify those means. Then as the victors, all they have to do is to rewrite the history, to present themselves as the good guys. 
Words:

Last night, I dreamed of Machiavelli,
Who, it seems, hasn’t learned much since the days of the Medici.
His pretext of seizing power for the ‘good of God’,
Was straight out of the playbook of Cesar Borgia....
So it seemed from my talk with poor, deluded Niccolo.

Looking into my eyes and holding my hands
He plied me with cunning plots and plans,
Dripping in evil criminality, and base intent
To create chaos for the existing world order
No means was too foul, not even murder.

The end will justify the means, my dear,
Don’t worry your pretty head.
He said.
I wasn’t buying it, though,
And so I said:

All around us in the world today that we see,
Has been caused by those with such a strategy.
The end doesn’t justify the means, at all.
It is the means themselves which create the evil
Of famine, pollution and perpetual war,
Driven by madness, greed and holy preachings;
This is the end created by your teachings.
We now have nation pitted against nation,
Because the way, the means, IS the destination.

Machiavelli  - Annie Dieu-Le-Veut

Glory Bound - demo

I stepped into an avalanche
It covered up my soul
When I am not this hunchback that you see
I sleep beneath the golden hill
You who wish to conquer pain
You must learn, learn to serve me well

You strike my side by accident
As you go down for your gold
The cripple here that you clothe and feed
Is neither starved nor cold
He does not ask for your company
Not at the center, the center of the world

When I am on a pedestal
You did not raise me there
Your laws do not compel me
To kneel grotesque and bare
I myself am the pedestal
For this ugly hump at which you stare

You who wish to conquer pain
You must learn what makes me kind
The crumbs of love that you offer me
They're the crumbs I've left behind
Your pain is no credential here
It's just the shadow, shadow of my wound

I have begun to long for you
I who have no greed
I have begun to ask for you
I who have no need
You say you've gone away from me
But I can feel you when you breathe

Do not dress in those rags for me
I know you are not poor
And don't love me quite so fiercely now
When you know that you are not sure
It is your turn, beloved
It is your flesh that I wear

Er schaufelt in der tiefen Nacht
Ein finsteres kaltes Massengrab
Die Leichen haben sie ihm gebracht
Zu verhindern dass ihr Land verdarb
Der Totengräber klar bei Verstand
Fragte warum man sie nicht verbrannt
Die Antwort gaben sie ihm nicht
Erinnerten ihn an seine Pflicht

Der Totengräber, ein verschwiegener Mann
Nimmt seine Taler an
Sodann weist er an seinen Knecht
Zu geben den Toten ihr letztes Recht
Sie sollen ruhen in aller Ewigkeit
Beendet ist ihr grausames Leid
Der toten Krieger ihre Seelen
Werden ihre Feinde nie mehr quälen

Warum auf Erden Menschen sterben
Durch Gewalt, Hass, Neid und Verderben
Werden Sie uns niemals sagen 
Denn Menschen gehen sich an den Kragen
Solange auf Erden regiert die Macht der Gier
Bleibt Vernunft und Weisheit eine Zier
Gutmenschen haben keine Chance
Denn ihre Welt verliert die Balance

Der Totengräber

At 57 years of age, I decided to finally release some of my music.
I can't believe how well it has been received.
