The Conspiracy

Forgive me father, for I have sinned in the most elegant fashion

A conspiracy smothered in passion

A flaw so tragic it's as if he were asking for it to be exposed

Forgive me father, but with all due respect

I do not seek your approval, nor do I fear your wrath

This world is a war, and your word is a weapon that's clenched and clung to their chests

Forgive me father, and correct me if I'm wrong

But you made this world so you could watch us burn it to ash

And by thy will, my will I confess

One man's rise from another man's death

One man's rise from another man's death

I'm the fatigue, I'm the weakness in their knees

I'm the inner beg and plea to buckle underneath the weight

The weight

Forgive me father if I haven't made myself clear

But as long as hell is any different from this earth

I can't imagine how it could be worse than here

So out of your hands, I'll take this world

And place it in my own instead

If you only listened to me

Then this wouldn't have to be the only option left

One man's rise from another man's death

I'm the fatigue, I'm the weakness in their knees

I'm the inner beg and plea to buckle underneath the weight

Just wait, they'll all succumb, they'll all succumb

It's the allure of a lure, it's the taste of the bait

It's the view from the top, not the thrill of the chase

That will make all of those who kneel loyally at your feet

Grasp the floor on which you stand and rip it out from underneath

And you'll fall with no support

Because your support now works for me

And on two broken legs you'll try to flee, you'll try to flee

But you won't know where to run

If you don't know who you're running from

I'm the fatigue, I'm the weakness in their knees

I'm the inner beg and plea to buckle underneath the weight

Just wait, they'll all succumb, my kingdom come

I've been dealing with this shit for way too long

I've been waiting for my chance to turn the tables on this world

I've been hearing screaming voices in my head

Singing: Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, let it burn

I've been dealing with this shit for way too long

I've been waiting for my chance to turn the tables on this world

I've been hearing screaming voices in my head

Singing: Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, let it burn

Try this through it tastes so sweet
