# The Story

2022
There was once a time when a horde of malevolent beings gathered to forge a weapon of mass destruction. But it couldn't be just any weapon. It had to infiltrate society so subtly that it wouldn't spark even the faintest flicker of suspicion among those unfortunate souls predestined to suffer for all eternity.

Among the infernal design requirements was one particularly insidious specification: the device had to masquerade as an instrument of liberation. That way, those doomed to ultimate torment would come to regard it as an absolute necessity.

After polishing the asphalt with a homemade blend of flesh and dignity, I found myself reflecting on life. I'd always hoped to leave my mark on future generations—but this wasn't exactly the kind of mark I had in mind. The People Grinder, on the other hand, wears its battle scars with unmistakable pride.

(Verse 1)
63+
64+
There came a day the devils swore
65+
To forge a beast unlike before.
66+
Not built with fire, steel, or flame,
67+
But something wearing freedom's name.
68+
69+
They wrapped it in a coat of green,
70+
The kind that makes all sinners clean.
71+
"Save the forests, save the skies!"
72+
They whispered softly through their lies.
73+
74+
(Chorus)
75+
76+
Ride away, ride away,
77+
On the Pegasus of Doom.
78+
Three wheels spinning, smiling wide,
79+
Marching straight toward your tomb.
80+
81+
Paint it bright and call it hope,
82+
Tell the world it's safe and wise.
83+
Every mile it steals your soul,
84+
While innocence believes the lies.
85+
86+
(Verse 2)
87+
88+
Da Vinci sketched from dawn till night,
89+
To build a rival fit to fight.
90+
He failed, of course, but made a wage,
91+
Selling toys through history's page.
92+
93+
The Addams Family took one glance,
94+
Refused to give the beast a chance.
95+
"Safer things exist," they cried,
96+
"Like jumping with your pride untied."
97+
98+
(Verse 3)
99+
100+
Sauron smiled and signed the scroll,
101+
Delighted by its destined role.
102+
The Elves abandoned Middle-earth,
103+
Seeking somewhere filled with mirth.
104+
105+
Rio welcomed every one,
106+
Far from darkness, far from One.
107+
No more rings upon their hands—
108+
Just safer shores and warmer sands.
109+
110+
(Chorus)
111+
112+
Ride away, ride away,
113+
On the Pegasus of Doom.
114+
Three wheels spinning, smiling wide,
115+
Marching straight toward your tomb.
116+
117+
Paint it bright and call it hope,
118+
Tell the world it's safe and wise.
119+
Every mile it steals your soul,
120+
While innocence believes the lies.
121+
122+
(Bridge)
123+
124+
Achilles thought he'd found his day,
125+
To drag brave Hector home in sway.
126+
The wheels betrayed the hero's pride;
127+
His swollen heel could never hide.
128+
129+
Hades laughed and closed the gate.
130+
Even Hell feared such a fate.
131+
132+
(Verse 4)
133+
134+
Then came my own unlucky ride,
135+
With laughing children by my side.
136+
The market trip was calm and sweet...
137+
Until that cursed left-foot beat.
138+
139+
The Inverted Triangle fell,
140+
Sliding straight through asphalt Hell.
141+
Helmets saved the little crew;
142+
My dignity? It never grew.
143+
144+
The road wore red, but healed just fine.
145+
My knees still curse that grand design.
146+
147+
(Final Chorus)
148+
149+
Ride away, ride away,
150+
On the Pegasus of Doom.
151+
Smile beneath its cheerful paint;
152+
Hidden waits your certain gloom.
153+
154+
Days have passed—I climb the stairs
155+
Like every step's my final test.
156+
The People Grinder waits in silence,
157+
Patient for another quest.
158+
159+
(Outro)
160+
161+
Some leave statues.
162+
163+
Some leave songs.
164+
165+
Some leave stories to be told.
166+
167+
I left skin upon the pavement...
168+
169+
And sealed a blood pact with a three-wheeled monster.
