lyrics

Open your fucking eyes


We are pawns being fed to wolves in disguise

We are all fucking expendable by design

Out of sight and out of fucking mind

Just disposable shell of humankind



Some more meat for the grinder

Our bones a feast for the crows

I can see the circling vultures

Even while we're still in our death throes



We're an afterthought

We’re pushed out of sight

They kick us when we’re down, afraid that we might fight

I know I’m not the only one dying for light

Your corruption will not survive the night



Why do we keep on making the same mistakes

We're running in circles like rats in a race

Always repeating the same day

Trying to escape this stalemate

We live our lives in the shadow of tyranny

Eating the fruit of a poisoned tree

We're helpless and hopeless

Trying to escape this stalemate



I refuse to become a statistic

Even though ignorance is bliss

We’ve become so fucking sadistic

How do we still not see this?



We’ve been stripped bare of our liberty

Paying the price for our heresy

Devour the offerings of a poisoned tree

We live our lives in the shadow of tyranny




We live our lives in the shadow of tyranny

Their fucking lies laid bare for the world to see



We’ll say our final prayers

Hear our desperate cries

Our minds clouded by fear

The sun will never rise

The bonds that we bear will be our demise

In this moment our last hope dies


Why do we keep on making the same mistakes

We're running in circles like rats in a race

Always repeating the same day

Trying to escape this stalemate

We live our lives in the shadow of tyranny

Eating the fruit of a poisoned tree

We're helpless and hopeless

Trying to escape this stalemate
