Damnation of the weak
Fed through perpetual greed
An alluring mask hides true intent
A lie so beautiful, so well designed
It now has its own life

Cadged in perpetual torment
Burn with hatred for you kind
So shallow, so naive
I own you, you self-fulfilling fuck
A shot to the head is all I＇ll share

A cheap taste of humanity
The treads of shame, we＇re all to blame
I am willing to die to take you out
A fear beyond all will fill every cell
No forgiveness, no compromise
Welcome to death, a new personal hell
I own you, you self-fulfilling fuck
I am willing to die to take you out.
Catatonic, weak and under siege
Forced to devour and twisted history
Bound, blind, paranoid, unclean
Scrape to your grave from a life of ignorance
Malignant cancer, the human genetic pool
Like a virus it spreads feeding, eating thoughts
To money machine, the human god
It has no remorse, you＇ve been raped of all
