A cruel regret

For a failed stone cold declaration

Derailed, denounced and deceased

Under war torn providence

For want, for greed, for pride

For goal, fortune and gain

The dead should rise, but they turn in open graves

For their war torn requiems

Against the grain

Set concrete, like to believe that we'll all be fine

You’d better believe that we're evil by design

Suffer defeat for the art of believing

The dark takes grip when the light takes five

So rest well the last damned deceiver

The seven sins

And the seven deadly virtues of descent

Emerge, converge and integrate

Salvation will be far too late

The old, the wise, the weak

The one that steals the game

Is your conscience the exception to the rule?

Do you brave sweet reckoning?

Against the grain

Set concrete, like to believe that we'll all be fine

You’d better believe that we're evil by design

Suffer defeat for the art of believing

Light takes dark when the night takes five

So rest well the last damned deceiver

Survive and suppress

Natural self interest

Survive and suppress

All virtue laid to rest

The want and need

In a pure, still state of abstinence

Well versed in false apology

Curse it all with honesty

Survive, suppress, revile

Withstand complete denial

Will your words just betray the truth

Staring down the devil's smile

Against the grain

Set concrete, like to believe that we'll all be fine

You'd better believe that we're evil by design

Suffer defeat for the art of believing

Six feet dark, now you're buried alive

So rest well the last damned deceiver

Evil by design
