Hail To The Program?

Today while doing computer work, I put on some music. Metallica's Enter Sandman came on, and the line “I pray the Lord my soul to take” hit me hard. In that moment, I revoked consent to those words—forever. I spoke outloud, "Fuck you 'lord' ya fake, you will NEVER have my soul!"
Then, as if that wasn't enough, Hail to the King by Avenged Sevenfold played next. And it was confirmation. - Never heard this song or of this band before.
It all lines up. The same program. The same language. Different robes.
Let’s break it down:
🧱 “Lord” — A noble rank. A judge. A landowner. A sovereign ruler in both biblical and legal contexts. Even in prayer, we are submitting to dominion.
👑 “Crown” — Not a symbol of divinity, but the legal embodiment of state control, law enforcement, prosecution, and property ownership. In English law, a “Crown case” is a criminal action. In civil matters, judges in the House of Lords decide your fate.
📜 “King” — The placeholder for the Crown. Legally interchangeable. As Black’s Law Dictionary reveals, the King no longer refers to the man—but to the state.
🙇♂️ “To Hail” — To salute. To call in. To praise. To summon with approval.
So when you sing along to “Hail to the King”, or recite the Lord’s Prayer, or stand in court before a Lord Justice—what are you really agreeing to?
Conclusion:
All of these systems—religion, monarchy, law—operate on consent through language. They don’t hide it. They’ve never hidden it.
It’s been in the songs, the prayers, the courts, the flags.
You’ve just got to stop singing along long enough to hear it.
Today I revoke all energetic, verbal, and unconscious consent to the Lord, the Crown, and the Kings of this false matrix.
I stand in my own name, under no dominion but my own.
If you’ve ever whispered prayers without knowing their true weight… it’s not too late to reclaim your voice.
Revoke. Rewrite. Reclaim.
