Profanum Vulgus Lyrics

Obelisks of avarice, building towers of vanity
Shielded from consequence in opulent majesty

I shall avert my gaze
From the profanum vulgaris
Shunning the needy and the lame
Those fit only to serve us
[Solo: Davidson]

Corpulent gluttons prepare for the feast
Ravenous hunger, the dine on the weak
Egotist your avarice knows no bounds
Still you sit indignant on your throne of greed
Covetous h***der of wealth, your l*** for gold so obscene
Yet emptiness still fills you inside, the blight of the soulless king

[Solo: Davidson]

Vultures circling above the carrion
Corpses picked clean in a lightless dawn

Predators of rapacity
Insatiable voracity
Manipulators expand the divide
Pitiful plebeians, the common herd I decry
