[Intro]

Violence breeds violence

Oppression breeds retaliation

And only a cleansing of our whole society

Can remove this sickness from our souls


[Verse 1]

Fear not what the future holds

Rest your weary bones

I'll do the rest

Careful as I gentle down

Like a sacred cow

Give you my best


[Pre-Chorus]

Rest assured, I know you know

Truth is good to win the goal

There comes a time, fight or flight

All behold, the legacy mine


[Chorus]

Hark! The herald angels sing

Glory to the king of kings

A better life imagined through his eyes

A veil of finely calibrated lies

Bait and switch

One and all, full of shit

Bait and switch

Everything in time


[Verse 2]

Follow me down the garden path

Take you by the hand

Lead you astray

Don't look back, leave the past behind

Let bygones be gone

Live for today


[Pre-Chorus]

In control, make no mistake

The world is mine alone to take

All for one and one for none

In God we trust to seal our fate


[Chorus]

Hark! The herald angels sing

Glory to the king of kings

A better life imagined through his eyes

A veil of finely calibrated lies

Bait and switch

One and all, full of shit

Bait and switch

Everything in time


[Chorus]

Hark! The herald angels sing

Glory to the king of kings

A better life imagined through his eyes

A veil of finely calibrated lies

Bait and switch

One and all, full of shit

Bait and switch

Everything in time


[Outro]

The wrongs that haven't been righted by an assassin's bullet
