Trade the lives of the powerless for the sport of mortal men
Blackened wisdom hails their cries for uninformed repent
Greed is the drug, the addiction is power

Afflicting the throng for the profit of empire.

Enact the rites of hypocrisy for the scourge of relevance

Set in motion worlds apart all the herds of mindless men
Like cattle the herd are sent to their slaughter
The failure of freedom to counter the order.


Without reason torn apart
As the faceless play their part

Another face to sell the score
Another mask to hide the cause.


Face the shadowbound
Working underground
Decide without a sound

How our lives unravel.

Trade the lives of the ignorant a collateral in blood

Falsify this paradigm to render all brain dead
Soulless inaction the root of the cause
The fallout of judgement that senses the fall.


There's only worth if you believe
The only value's what you see

Yet things get lost behind a price
of superficial edifice.


Face the shadowbound
Working underground
Decide without a sound

How our lives unravel.
