You say he’s the savior of humanity
Well he’s more like a plague bearer to me
Just watch as his ideas spread amongst you like a sickness
This rise from ruin has no quick fix
You can’t build paradise on a cesspool of filth
Step back and you will see everyone becoming slaves as they fulfill someone else's dreams
Where is your trepidation?
The last few grains of sand are beginning to fall
Now is not the time for us to stall
This man will be the end of you all
Seize this moment of clarity and come back to reality
Just remember when this whole world goes to shit
that it could have been prevented
You’ll continue breeding children in an era of vile things
They’ll grow into the epitome of our disease of our disease
Blasphemous! Abomination! Abhorrent! Disgraceful! Abolition!
Another bastardized anathema to become your king
Eradicate this kingdom of deception
Overthrow this putrid tyrant
Take back your fucking lives

As you look up to the righteous man
a realization of his existence is justified as a lie
Humanity will fall to its knees
as their world is torn apart before their eyes
This upheaval will erase our existence
reducing all to ash
Wars created by modern day man will lead us all to death
Mankind has fueled the revolution degrading all to immoral pigs
Unity has vanquished in time by the growth of selfishness and greed
Consequence and fear, what can be a bitter end to all we believe
Man vs. man
Pig vs. pig
There is no difference
This is what we create

Enlightening the Blind

Waiting for something to happen
Life seems so meaningless living in a comatose existence
Swimming circles under watchful eyes
we must never stray from the path
It’s so aggravating never being able to find an identity
You’re just another brainwashed sheep herded into line
Do you feel it? The haunting chill of wanting more
Everything will stay the same unless you open your fucking eyes
Don’t tell me you’re able to digest their force-fed bullshit
When push comes to shove I’ll rise above
with those who see this world for what it really is
So stay behind playing blind if thats what gets you through life

Burning Down the Gallows

Keep shelling it out like we’ve got endless pockets
We seem to be building our own gallows
and tightening the noose around our throats
Come one come all!
Watch us choke
The rich get richer and the poor get fucked
They’re sitting pretty while we’re struggling
to keep our heads above water
This cost of living, rising like the tide, has washed us out to sea
This minimum wage strangle hold is choking the life out of us all
We're born into this life, brought into this world without a choice
So keep your green paper currency
Show us what it is to be money hungry
Just keep your green paper currency
as we’re all destined to be born
into the shackles of endless debt
We're sure to drown in an ocean of greed and dollar signs
The burden of existence feels like the weight of the world
crushing our backs
The root of evil makes the world go round
