Verse 1
Pounding rhythm of disintegration
Engines turn, bodies burn, read the scandal
Don the mask of honesty, cast us into slavery
Crush the envious, bestow emptiness, begin the decadence
Heavy handed, malicious bandit
Bleed the system, choke the wisdom, ignite the fear
The unruly guest, wields his stark deception
Consume the powerless, elude consciousness. crush the inquest
Pre-Chorus
Standing above the wreckage, looking down…it’s presence menacing
Execute the crimes from within…beseech your savior
Verse
Cross your chest, shut your eyes
Hungry beasts, begin the feast, bleed us dry
Distorted justice, lends you no salvation
Insurrection brewing, power turning, cities burning
Pre-Chorus
Standing among the wreckage, looking down…devoid of empathy
The Masses’ patience wearing thin…meet your savior
Chorus
Greed machine, bearing down
Infected, neglected, the hallowed ground
Weakening…burning out
Determined to tear the fucker apart
Pre-Chorus
Lying below the wreckage, underground…loosing everything
Waiting for the trial to begin…I am your savior!
