Bread and Circuses
Lyrics
Save yourself from damnation
And save your sad explanation
The lies you tell, the blood you sell
Won't save yourself from damnation
Break down their walls
High towers, architects of gold, lies, secrets, truth is left untold
Point fingers outsource all the blame, claim you're special
You're really all the same, white noise, your voice, it drowns me out
Fake news alt truth, who's buying now, push the message sell your sickness
It's all part of the game, bread and circuses you preach to entertain
I am angry, I am broken, the bitterness is left unspoken, the ashes fall
The martyr burns, you've passed the point of no return, my hands are shaking
My soul is blackened, shout through the darkness, stop this madness
You feed the fire with your hate, you cry to God but you're too late
The innocent all burn, your thoughts and prayers
Their hearts and minds are all symbolic of the waste that we have earned
Does anybody really listen? Does anybody really care?
Plug in and bear, a fact's a fact, a lie's a lie, your false perception intertwined
We all give in, we all crave more, denial the beast that we adore
I am angry, I am broken, the bitterness is left unspoken, the ashes fall
The martyr burns, you've passed the point of no return, my hands are shaking
My soul is blackened, shout through the darkness, stop this madness
You feed the fire with your hate, you cry to God but you're too late
I'll take your weakness, I'll fight the sickness, I'll take everything you took from me
Break down their walls
Save yourself from damnation
And save your sad explanation
The lies you tell, the blood you sell
Won't save yourself from damnation
Damnation
