[Intro - - spoken with dark, haunted instruments behind]
The descent into moral decay begins with the death of empathy
[Verse]
Round them up, lock in cages
Bloodshed is holy, death becomes payment
Who is to say that we are wrong
The bodies litter the streets
Corpses of dissent
FILTH, THE LIES OF CHARLATANS COLLIDE
THE POLLUTION OF DISCOURSE
REASON HAS DIED
DRAGGED UP FROM THE ABYSS
HISTORY REPEATS
THE BLOOD OF THE INNOCENT
TO FEED THE ELITE
[Pre Chorus]
Raise your glass to the haunted chorus
It’s become too hard to see the trees from the forest
The ruthless, chaotic, relentless foray
That ushers us into an early decay
[Chorus]
THEY WANT US TO BLEED
THEY WANT US TO DIE
THE END OF AN AGE
THE START OF A FIGHT
[Verse]
Seek the truth, it rarely is pretty
The politics we knew. So weak and so petty
This violence tears our families apart
The chaos screams in our soul
Against all consent
SHAME, THE SAME UNCHECKED SCANDAL
CORRUPTION IS PAR FOR THE COURSE
THE FATES REWIND
NEW SINS TO UNRAVEL
THE DECADANCE
THE INSOLENCE
TO FEED THE ELITE
[Pre Chorus]
Raise your glass to the haunted chorus
It’s become too hard to see the trees from the forest
The ruthless, chaotic, relentless foray
That ushers us into an early decay
[Chorus]
THEY WANT US TO BLEED
THEY WANT US TO DIE
THE END OF AN AGE
THE START OF A FIGHT
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
DO NOT FALL INTO APATHY
DO NOT FALL FOR THEIR LIES
STAND FOR YOUR BROTHERS
STAND FOR YOUR SISTERS
THIS IS WAR
[Pre Chorus]
Raise your glass to the haunted chorus
It’s become too hard to see the trees from the forest
The ruthless, chaotic, relentless foray
That ushers us into an early decay
[Chorus]
THEY WANT US TO BLEED
THEY WANT US TO DIE
THE END OF AN AGE
THE START OF A FIGHT
[Pre Chorus]
Raise your glass to the haunted chorus
It’s become too hard to see the trees from the forest
The ruthless, chaotic, relentless foray
That ushers us into an early decay
[Chorus]
THEY WANT US TO BLEED
THEY WANT US TO DIE
THE END OF AN AGE
THE START OF A FIGHT
