Slave : Away

Empty eyes and swollen fingers
Pallid faces, twisted backs
Penned up like cattle we pursue our task
Half forgotten urges call from
Far beyond our consciousness
Painful reminders of a different time
Everyday at the same pace
We have to leave this place behind
We gotta strike the match and turn
Our backs towards the past
And let the bridges burn
Everyday at the same pace
We have to leave this place behind
We gotta strike the match and turn
Our backs towards the past
And let the bridges burn
And they say that’s the way the world runs,
Exploit or be exploited, abuse or be abused,
Break or be broken, enslave or be enslaved

You stand before
A thousand steps
That lead towards
A thousand more
On every step
A shouting man
Delirious
With foaming mouth
Beckoning to meet with them
Become entangled in their schemes
Climbing through the levels of greed
To realise you’re one of them
To kill
To kill
To kill a bird with two stones
To kill
To kill
To kill a bird
To kill a bird with two stones
To kill
To kill
To kill
To kill
To kill a bird with two stones
To kill
To kill
To kill
To kill
To kill a bird
To kill a bird with two stones
The world is a bitter place
For the ones that are in charge
Every hand could wield a dagger
Every gift could be a curse

A black star on the firmament
Seen from worlds yet unimpeded
I need to spit it out
Just to devour it again
Ruminate, regurgitate
Gluttony, imperative to feed
What grows within
I spin around in circles
Revolve around myself
The center of gravity
In a galaxy of contempt
A black star on the firmament
Seen from worlds yet unimpeded
I grasp and reach, I flail and claim
Never satiated, consume to subsist
Exist to feed, emotional black hole
I grasp and reach, I flail and claim
Swallow it all
When there's nothing left
I'll consume myself
When there's nothing left
I'll consume myself
When there's nothing left
I'll consume myself
When there's nothing left
I'll consume myself

Deeper, even deeper
Where the forest is thickest
Deeper, even deeper
Where the forest is thickest
Deeper, even deeper
Where the forest is thickest
Into the forest
Deeper, even deeper
Where the forest is thickest
Where they rays of the sun
Seldom meet the soil
Where the cries of the earth
Cannot be heard
The hermit built his sanctuary
From the bones of the beasts
That used to roam the trees
From the leaves of the underbrush
That used to cover the ground
That’s left to rot
You don’t want to share
Withholding for your own gain
You’re inflicting pain
Inaction your favoured game
I hope you choke on the potions you’re hiding away
I am disgusted by the way you conduct yourself
Give ‘em up, away with the secrets you hold
Tear them down, the walls, the walls you have raised

We like to please our lords
Eager to play by the book but we can’t read, no
We came to follow through
Walking the valley of shadows but we’re afraid
The brightest future
We ever had
We’re bound to seek it
Here in the dirt
Like lambs to slaughter
We’re lead astray
Remedy to the cure
Long for the hand that feeds
Patiently waiting to feast on the decay
We surrender to the higher power
Seek the center of the maze
Pick up the shovel and bury our dreams
To find ourselves on the outside again
Keep marching to a disturbing beat
The truth is a concept so fragile
The silence it speaks to us
We are famished and forlorn
We are broken we are torn
The brightest future
We ever had
We’re bound to seek it
Here in the dirt
Like lambs to slaughter
We’re lead astray
Remedy to the cure
The brightest future
We ever had
We’re bound to seek it
Here in the dirt
Like lambs to slaughter
We’re lead astray
Remedy to the cure
The brightest future
We ever had
We’re bound to seek it
Here in the dirt
Like lambs to slaughter
We’re lead astray
Remedy to the cure
