How can this be?
How could this have possibly happened?
Everything I've ever been told, merely a lie

Wrapped up in comfortable mythology
Suffocated by false pursuits of happiness
A culture born at any expense


From the ashes of history this monolith rises
Skyward, ascending reality

Leaving in its wake a trail of blood
For a saddened existence
A societal foundation built on careful calculation

Lies and insanity, superego and conquest, unhappiness in destruction
Hand in hand


When the outcome rules the process,
When the end consumes the means,
We leave ourselves with one option: extinction


But these ideas run deep
Firmly rooted in an inferior superiority complex

What cannot be conquered can never be understood
What does not $$#imilate must be destroyed
Whatever it takes to feed this insatiable civilization

(We must pursue at any cost?)
I hang my head and tense my body in horror
IN DEFIANCE


For I have ripped this culture's veil from my tired eyes
Peered into its mythology long enough to realize,

I don't want to be a part of it another day
I don't want to be a part of it another $#&@ing day
