[Verse 1]

Collective consciousness

Synapses between us

We pierce the sky with fists

We shroud the Earth in dust


[Verse 2]

Bow, sit down, take a knee

Before powers that be

We're here to spread the flame

Welcome to the game


[Refrain]

And after all is said and done

Since the moon eclipsed the sun

Can you feel the wrath of truth?

Does it burn you like abuse?


[Verse 3]

Come along to the killing grounds

It's execution day

Thе grip of a thousand hands

Squeezes the life from suprеmacy


[Refrain]

And after all is said and done

When the dark delays the dawn

Walk your path towards the reaper

Learn that hell is other people


[Chorus]

Obey

As we

Decay

Buy me a lobotomy

Fools never cease to amaze

Keep digging your grave

A lobotomy


[Verse 4]

Down here for eternity

Where fire and ice meet

You burnt the world above

We rule the world beneath


[Refrain]

And after all is said and done

Before a new day has begun

Bid your worries all goodbye

Flee the pan into the fire


[Chorus]

Obey

As we

Decay

Buy me a lobotomy

Fools never cease to amaze

Keep digging your grave

A lobotomy


[Bridge]

Fool me once and I'm numb

Twice and I'm dumb

Thrice, I won't be fooled again

Fool me once and I'm done

Twice, I succumb

To a handshake with hell

In the end, we only reap what we have sown

Can't leave well enough alone

The world's at stake

Under an oath that cannot break


[Guitar Solo]


[Chorus]

Obey

As we

Decay

Buy me a lobotomy

Fools never cease to complain

Keep digging your grave

A lobotomy
