Apex Of Disdain

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
A concealed sacrifice

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

When you take more than you need
We'll bite the hand that fucking feeds
