Counterfeit sympathy
With sorrow snares relenting passengers
We choose our leaders on the basis of profit
Serve as substitutionary atonement
Drawn and quartered
Searching for a lighthouse to guide us home
We sail aboard a sinking ship
With lifeboats reserved for the highest bidders
Were all depraved
Encrypted interfeed
All hands on deck
Those who still listen
We choose to provide for the ones who turn the other cheeck
Serve as substitutionary atonement
Drawn and quartered
Counterfeit sympathy
Chronic apathy
Lives by that which nourishes it
Providence unveiled
Listen the storms in silence
Growing out of butterfly wings
Give form to tidal waves
Set to takes us away

Inception

Pave the way towards solution
A regime change
We offer revolution to replace corruption
Once and for all
You should have read the small print
Before singing our lives away
You named the price
Now its time to pay
Set motion for the inception
Of the brave new world
Hero of our time
Youre my death wish
Through feeble bargain
(Growing) out of the frame
Years wear down the quilt
Every time we look the other way
Detatched from reality
That no longer serves a purpose
You should have read the small print
Before singing our lives away
You drew the first blood
When you singed us away
Now look at the world
All we have build
Give us control
Strip down your mask
Just let it end

Shapeshifters

We show symptoms of decay
In every promise for better days
How many times one must fall to knows his place?
For welfare of others
We are nothing but slaves
We worship ourselves
Our blood currency
And one day everything we built
Will stand abandoned
Delusions of grandeur
For welfare of others
We are nothing but slaves
We worship ourselves
Our blood currency
We worship the greed that defines us
Lead them through walls
And they'll turn to you
And they'll fall for you

Dead Letter Office

How can you expect to
Carry the weight of the world
On your shoulders if you cant even carry
The weight of your mistakes?
You keep lying to yourself about the outcome
Its not a matter of choice
Dont bite the hand that feeds
Submit to give in
Or be gone
Life drains away your passion
If you dare question
Ethics of the be productive or be dead (begone)
Exorcise them all away
Cause this is when the fairytale ends
This is when it all ends
Life drains away your passion
Buried in dead letter office
Ethics of the be productive or be dead (begone)
Past wont let you go
