Lyrics
Part 3: Surrounded By Decline
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Kill for unclear goals
More paranoid clones
Fear feeds war
We bring the soldiers into our homes
Their war becomes our very own
An obsession with all that is foreign
To be held as suspect
Ingraining a distrust of the other
Into minds overburdened by stress
Hate feeds fear
Watch chaos unfold
Feel madness take hold
Deny the longings of your soul
Become exactly who you're told
Surrounded by decline
There is no Lighted Path
Preaching the Rapture
Vultures gather souls en masse
Indignation for you
No mercy for these fools
Memorize the names of the dead
They're our tools to achieve this Hell
War saves souls and brings up the market
(But you) preach just one from the pulpit
Far gone into intolerant mindsets
(The) audience soaks up the nonsense
Yielding rights to the preacher
(They) put their blind faith in their leader
Dissolution of freedom and justice
The forefathers long dead
New age slaves marching on through the shadows
By a darkened faith led
Dare strike the chains that bind?
They'll find you for your crimes
You'll disappear inside
This apocalyptic rise
