[SPOKEN INTRO]
They put faces on the machine.
Smiling ones. Elected ones.
But Bael walks in three heads —
toad, man, and cat —
and none of them are the hand that moves.
The hand that moves has no name on a ballot.
[VERSE 1]
Flight logs filed and sealed behind closed doors
Names redacted, judges bought, the island still offshore
They campaign on your anger, they negotiate your chains
Different flags, same architects, same rivers run with gains
The lobbying disclosure sits in plain sight on the page
A billion spent in silence while they perform their rage
[PRE-CHORUS]
You voted for the face
You never saw the throne
Every party, every nation
Every stone
[CHORUS]
Bael walks unseen
In the halls you built with faith
Three heads on the parliament
One will on every state
Call his name in every capital
He answers all of them
The hidden king of governance
Has always governed men
[VERSE 2]
The regulator leaves his post and joins the board he watched
The watchdog feeds beside the wolf, the evidence is locked
From Brussels down to Washington, from Ottawa to Canberra
The architecture holds because they built it to be permanent
No scandal breaks the structure, every scandal feeds the frame
Left and right are theater seats — Bael doesn't play their game
[BRIDGE]
This isn't conspiracy
This is congressional record
This is flight manifest
This is disclosed and ignored
The demon doesn't hide
You just weren't taught to read the name
[OUTRO — SPOKEN]
Bael.
First king of the Goetia.
Sixty-six legions at command.
He grants invisibility.
They never needed a spell.
You gave it to them freely
every time you looked away.
