I was stripped of my innocence today
my very sense of self all torn away
by the hand of god or for the greater good?
what gives you the right?
for the sake of the bigger plan? Hiding fears of a simple man?
All this only to keep in power, watch humanity finally fall to ruin
Were only victims of the war, casualties of greed
and over zealous marketing
afraid to speak and paralyzed, wrought with fear
of pain, don't let it all be justified, bound.
by the hand of the righteous god we burn
everyone, everyone pays.
I'm pulling out, giving up, you better think about this to
to conform, to accept the ways of man.
truth that we see, it isn't real, it's been taught to us, programmed
to obey their every word
what to do when your memories are wrong?
lose your sense of self just to belong
your perception begins to cloud
as you learn to accept you're just a p***
A simple cog in the machine, forced to feed and breed
to teach their insecurities
a generation under siege, lost themselves again
maybe we're all better off just bound
by the hand of a righteous god we burn
everyone, everyone pays
we all are taught lies
I'm pulling out, giving up, you better think about this to
to conform, to confirm.
Tell me why I shouldn't walk away now
show me that there is a better way now
tell me why I shouldn't walk away now
so what, can I do now?
no sympathy for the devil
