Collateral Damage

On Absolution

Praise and worship

The ones with no remorse

Hate and demonize

Those with honor and dignity

Is this the way you want to live

Amongst the weak and the useless

Taking everything for granted

Your ambitions left stranded

Barking when you're lonely

Envying another's happiness

Never will you learn real solidarity

As you die in another's pettiness

Cherishing only what's on the surface

Anything else is imaginary menace

Always last to cross the line

Philosophy is not only words

Always first to step in line

You are amongst the herd

Praise and worship

The ones with no remorse

Hate and demonize

Those with honor and dignity

Turning seeds into crops

Isn't part of your plan

Making something out of nothing

Isn't something you understand

Ready to do anything

In your own interest

To die for your own sacred image

Kill to look like the wisest

Although you are but a savage

Playing pretend with your friends

When, in fact, you have only enemies

Cherishing only what's on the surface

Anything else is imaginary menace

Always last to cross the line

Philosophy is not only words

Always first to step in line

You are amongst the herd

As many have good reasons

And other's don't have a choice

You live through every season

Without anything to rejoice

Accepting to be the rotten egg

Hypocrite to the core

You're the one that begs

You egocentric little whore

Your name is on the list

Of those who will hang

A list you made up yourself

In your own slang

Cherishing only what's on the surface

Anything else is imaginary menace

You are the collateral damage

The result of today's mentality
