“Overlord” is told from the perspective of a follower of a populist/fascist ideology or the ideology itself. An upbeat song, the lyrics are tongue-in-cheek example of populist sayings and beliefs that conceal deeper, violent means.
[Verse 1]
Oh, fear is old
Please don't yell at the train, just get aboard
Oh, we go forth
Those who stay behind will be left on the shore
Who could afford not to be a part of what we're pushing toward?
[Refrain]
Over-over-over-overlord
Over-over-over-overlord
[Verse 2]
Oh, overlord
Please don't be magnanimous, protect your neck
Oh, overlord
Marshal my desires to your call and beck
Oh, it's assured
Good outweighs bad as we approach perfection
[Refrain]
Over-over-over-overlord
Over-over-over-overlord
[Bridge]
How can you try to help me?
How can you try not to help me? (Help me)
Help me (Help me)
Help me (Help me)
Help me, yeah
[Verse 3]
Oh, overlord
Take the ones below me and I'll hold the sword
Oh, overlord
Who could serve a master who sits over lord?
[Refrain]
Over-over-over-overlord
Over-over-over-overlord
Over-over-over-overlord
Over-over-over-overlord
