Here I lie, clinging to this breathe of eternal life

Inherently blind, yet apparently kind, to those who conformed well before their time

Crucified, for the betterment of mankind

I won't die, for an ignorant, flesh-feeding heretic's fight

I won't die, for the betterment of mankind

From the cradle to the grave, misery and agony follow in my oppressive wake

Bow to the debt collector, an executioner

For a lack of better words, a murderer

Justified sacrifice to cover up these severed ties

Witnessing the delusion of these dreams as we march, tooth and nail

Witnessing the division of ill-faded hearts, their truth will fail

Resurface again and again

Witnessing the deception as we breach, only freedom we hail

Pull out from under the weight of a life destroyed

Resurface again and again
