[Verse 1]

Crisis feeds the lunacy, all fear the new machine

Consumed democracy returns to a socialist regime


[Pre-Chorus]

It's laid to rest without contest

All hail the new incompetence

Making you see what to believe

A drone in the world of anarchy


[Chorus]

Treachery, misery

Violence, insanity

Scavengers closing in

Covering the truth again

Castrate society

Fictional reality


[Verse 2]

Insecurity afraid of things you cannot see

Words become the image of the enemy


[Pre-Chorus]

You can't dissect what is correct

Vengeance based on how things are said

Can't see your side conflicts with mine

Frustrations lead to complete demise


[Chorus]

Treachery, misery

Violence, insanity

Scavengers closing in

Covering the truth again

Every trial conspiracy

Compassion is the enemy

Paralyse, criticize

Breaking through the wall of lies


[Instrumental Break]


[Verse 3]

Suicidal hierarchy racing in reverse

Everything that's done today will be tomorrow's curse


[Pre-Chorus]

Screams in my head preceed your death

Can't hold the rage when the truth is shed

Blind lead the blind line after line

In a world too shallow to defy


[Chorus]

Treachery, misery

Violence, insanity

Scavengers closing in

Covering the truth again

Castrate society

Fictional reality
