Lyrics
Filth And Squalor
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.
Somewhere there's a choice being made
For the mass by the will of a broke few
Guided by the hand of the guilty
Praised as a cure for a curse
When really this is all catastrophic
And we're tethered to the hull of a sinking ship
Scratching for a breath at the surface
Praying for the ropes to slip
I always knew that the damned would inherit the earth
As soon as they learned to speak
We would be suffering
Sucking on the scraps of the wicked wealth
We were bound by need
To vicious villainy
Tear it down
Start again
Erasing every trace so stale scare can mend
Then we will sing
The way things used to be
I always knew that the damned would inherit the earth
As soon as they learned to speak
We would be suffering
Sucking on the scraps of the wicked wealth
We were bound by need
To vicious villainy
I always knew that the damned would inherit the earth
As soon as they learned to breed
We would be suffering
Sucking on the scraps of the wicked wealth
We were bound by need
To vicious villainy
Tear it down
Start again
