apex of disdain

oh!

the gears turn with tedious motion

and as the pendulum swings

divides widen

paradigm be damned

salvation comes at a price

and you will pay with your life

step by step

you lead a dying march

to shallow graves

these poisoned roots

become our earthly cage

earth to earth

dust to dust

only ash remains

your salvation comes at a price

a disregard for all life

status breaks

tense and overburdened

frail shadows move behind the curtain

culture be damned

salvation comes at a price

step by step

you lead a dying march

to shallow graves

these poisoned roots

become our earthly cage

earth to earth

dust to dust

only ash remains

your salvation comes at a price

a disregard for all life

under the sun

we all fight for significance

but i know under these watchful eyes

it takes so much more to feel alive

under the sun

we forgot where we came from

but you just stand there as those flames grow

and watch it burn

watch it burn!

when you take more than you need

we'll bite the hand that fucking feeds

ooh

whoa!
