The latter theory seems more apt, given the part of the lyrics quoted at [[Another Version Of The Truth (website)|Another Version Of The Truth]]. The lyrics might echo the commands of a guerrilla resistance group to a kidnapped bureaucrat (a la the kidnapping of Clive Owen's protagonist in <i>Children of Men</i>, or the similar scene in <i>Thank You for Smoking</I>).
"'''Meet Your Master'''" Another theory is that these are the eleventh track on the 2007 release ''words of, or general feeling given by an encounter with [[Year ZeroThe Presence]]''.

==Lyrics==
Right now a big decisionBow down in position Violence as Against the polished steel
This is something different
DonYou't know how big ll like the way this feels
No time for asking questions
No time for wondering
We've had heard enough of from you now YouWe've heard everything You want We're going to play a new game You 'll put on this blindfold You 'll do what we tell you You 'll do as you're told
Used to be the leader
Now comes the time to serve
Maybe we'll show some mercy Maybe you'll get what you deserve
Countdown Count down to the end, but Gotta make it go come faster faster This is your Right around the bend Is a coming disaster Countdown Count down to the end, but make it go And we're headed there faster Come on down, my friend
It's time to meet your master
You've left quite a mess here under Under your stewardship You thought you 'd figured it out but you You'll find learn your place in this You think its so Might take some convincing, you think For you to see the truth Give us There are so many things, now who We's ve got time in store for you
Countdown Count down to the end, but Gotta make it go come faster faster This is your Right around the bend Is a coming disaster Countdown Count down to the end, but make it go And we're headed there faster faster Come on down, my friend
It's time to meet your master
The following lyric is repeated to the end of the song:
Come on down
