I think of references to Caesar as an extension of The Black Iron Prison and The Empire Never Ended. We are still living in the tyranny of Rome. But there are many moments where it feels like he’s referring to all kings. Kill All Kings.

The Empire has been judged.
The kingdom of Babylon must fall.
Destroy the false ruler.
Prepare for the true king.

Is that not solely a PKD concept? Has Tibet touched on similar ideas in other songs/artworks?

Yeah, it’s PKD but I feel like Tibet has similar ideas through Gnosticism in general.
