lyrics

Fuck all you snakes and leeches
Who think you know what its like to toil inside this system
To live this commoners life
Fuck all you snakes and leeches
Who speak like you've felt the tide that bears down looming on us
That is our commoners plight

Those who've turned the soil, scrubbed bloodstains from the floor
Have pushed the cogs with no choice
Are permitted to give voice
To the struggles that we face here, to the freedom that we desire
To the point at which one feels the dark engulf
To the grit it takes to again rise

Don't fucking grin as if you know me
Don't fucking smile as if you care
Cause I know to fuel your private motive is the only fucking reason you are here

Did my own hands build this prison
Hardwire this circuitry thats controlling me
I start once again to scale the wall
Once more I'm convinced that this time I will hold
Once more I watch my resolve dissolve

Do you envy them?
Their image coveted, convinced of the benefit of the alternate
You are seeking again, instead of being now here
Exist within this moment, know that nothing else exists

Those who've turned the soil, scrubbed bloodstains from the floor
Have pushed the cogs with no choice, stared deep into the void
Whose chains furrows run deepest, who have sacrificed their lives
To an altar they were born to, and at which they each shall die

The perfect slave is the one who believes he is free
