Contempt
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.
[Lyrics: Hellid, music: hellid]
Before my eyes - lies
Nothing but lies
I cannot believe the scenes
Taking place beneath our skies
It makes me wanna do my time
In a song or on the silver-screen
Humanity is the biggest cancer
Ever to be seen
Before my eyes - lies
Civiliesation
Ancient and wicked
Destruction in creation
No matter how low you are
There's always someone to look down upon
And it goes
On and on
Emotionless - obscene
But a human life don't mean
Anything to me
It's merely a seed of insanity
