lyrics

Kneeling down to who we idolize, do we know who we're fighting for?

We are artless enemies
over vacant scuffles,
Crusaders with hollow causes.

Its a false duality, where the kings and queens marvel at our foolishness.
We are just feeble pawns in this game they play.
With the prize being none other than parasitic power.
And without rules, there are no penalties.

As my manufactured skin begins to shed,
And as I open these ignorant eyes:
I stare straight into the face of the Sun.
A venture that nobody can overcome.

I come to realize,
That we've been force-fed lies.
Now questions are born within me:
The flame that society tries to lay to rest.
I will illuminate the truth,
To end your pointless quest.

As my manufactured skin begins to shed,
And as I open these ignorant eyes:
I stare straight into the face of the Sun.
A venture that nobody can overcome.

Into the disapproved possibilities:
That I've been fighting an empty war - That I've been living my life for a non-existent creator;
The puzzle pieces start to fit:

Displaying horrific replicas of the dense blindfolds, we all instinctively wear.

We are all subjects to society.
