Endure the Fire

Well the world we knew is dying
Crumbling and collapsing
Everything we were is falling apart
We've been beaten we've been battered
All we've done no longer matters
They've vivisected our brains and excised our hearts
(So we've learned to)
Embrace the Pain
Embrace the scars and burns
We'll shrug it off, we'll still remain, we'll show the world
That you and I
We can endure the fire
And still we stand, unbroken
We will survive
Trapped in an engine of dysfunction
Conditioned into abnegation
We're just gristle caught inside this rusted machine
We've been damaged, but we're standing
Resilience tested but still holding
When you've given up hope you have nothing to fear
(And you learn to)
Embrace the Pain
Embrace the scars and burns
We'll shrug it off, we'll still remain, we'll show the world
That you and I
We can endure the fire
And still we stand, unbroken
We will survive
Caught in the pull of diminution
All we've constructed in remission
We're the obsolete and the left behind
Escape the black and iron prison
Recapture our volition
And through adversity we will rise
(So we learn to)
Embrace the Pain
Embrace the scars and burns
We'll shrug it off, we'll still remain, we'll show the world
That you and I
We can endure the fire
And still we stand, unbroken
We will survive

Awful Mistake

(I know a man, I think you may have met him
Plagued by regrets and self-destructive actions
One of the lost, one of the botched and blundered
Suffers a wound that blights the world around him
Knows something's wrong but can't be spurred to action
Frozen by fear and empty dull distraction
He's falling down and dragging us down with him
In this wasted land and wasted life)
I've made an awful mistake
Can I turn back from this path that I've chosen
Can I escape the embrace
Of this black iron prison I'm caught in
(He awakes from a dream, a dream he always has
It's a dream of failure and anxiety and
he's trying to find a way to keep it all together
but the corruption that's inside him just conspires against him
his whole life is a wound, a wound that's self-inflicted
flyblown with worms and dripping with infection
he's taken all he can take, so let's watch him break
and down we go...)
I've made an awful mistake
Can I turn back from this path that I've chosen
Can I escape the embrace
Of this black iron prison I'm caught in

We have control
We are the shadow men
We've come to cull the herd
And start this all again
We filled your minds
With lines of virus code
We'll infect the DNA of this dying world
We feed you lies
You only beg for more
Casualties of the psionic wars
So calm your thoughts,
We'll do your thinking now
Numbed into narcissistic bliss while your world burns down
Drop the bomb
Kick start the eschaton
We'll salt the earth and tear the cities down
You swallowed all
The propagandist's lies
Willingly your minds have been lobotomized
You concede
You pissed away your rights
You didn't even bother to put up a fight
Total control
Bred mental atrophy
A generation lost to total fucking apathy
(we're going to get inside...)
We're here to hurry entropy
We're here to ruin everything
Let the light inside you fade
We're going to throw it all away
We're going to break down every heart
We're going to tear this place apart
Bury everything in waste
Until the world has been erased
