When the sun finally swallows the earth It won't care to spare our masters' foot soldiers No honor, redemption, rebirth Only forgotten wars, their memories scorched Now who's left to carry your fucking torch? Gimme picturesque shrines of romance Their policies penned with blood on their hands From butchering people and land Gimme grotesque shrines to false prophets With their cavalries and riot police Built to kill on command Sell it to me as social progress When you build up your walls and fences The beauty of thwarted trespasses But lord, forgive us of our trespasses For liberation of the savage For this never ending conquest

Servile 02:55
Suffering beyond words Pain under the crushing weight People die running for their lives In an endless losing race Opportunity calls, lays common sense to waste While people die fighting for their lives In efforts to curb the shame Existence, servile Resistance, futile It's all fuckin shit wall to wall A hideous, cold fucking world So what good's this "order"? What choice are we left? Predictable swell of predictable swill On this continuum of avarice The weight we carry fills their pockets And pulls us under... Under the strain of their grip, their control They'll do what they can just to cripple your soul In the end you find there's no end Just streams of despair and disappointment Let's cast our ballots and wail When capital prevails In the interest of those putting wind in our sails The battle's been won For them, never us We're all left in the dust And the solace you took in their pretensions was enough to keep you moving SO WHATEVER, KEEPS YOU MOVING

All I hear when I wake up The morphine drip of a peaceful hum Rings in my ears like the siren song Of a failed state With values professed Provided to us through myth By our masters of limitless power and prowess Never coming to terms with their impotence In face of a crisis who could've seen this? Values wasted on sleek entertainment Cruelty marks the zenith of all meaning and communication So let's celebrate it You won't see me lower the flag When our day finally comes I'll burn it to bits for its embers To keep me warm I'm done bargaining for what's mine Fooled to prove my worth and right to survive I pray for the day we can all agree To stop hoping and start burning
