So come one and come all to the crumbling walls Of our city, now painted with red As the stench of defeat emanates through the streets Is the life we once dreamed of now dead? But we won't break, we will fight, we will storm through the night Enslaved to their game nevermore With the locks on our cage broken off by the rage Now it's time to settle the score We are the frayed, we are the torn We are the beaten and the scorned And now you've forced the beast to bare its teeth We'll come in droves like animals Hungry to reclaim our control As we fight to bite the bitter hand that feeds We are the frayed We are the frayed We are the frayed Beyond the barricade, oh, can't you hear that sound? The march of tortured souls screaming, "Burn this place to the ground" The pack you played for fools, the herd you led astray Now run the slaughterhouse, welcome to Judgment Day You'll pay in blood as your retribution So let's gather at the gallows for the execution We are the frayed, we are the torn We are the beaten and the scorned And now you've forced the beast to bare its teeth We'll come in droves like animals Hungry to reclaim our control As we fight to bite the bitter hand that feeds We are the frayed And when the new day dawns upon our master plan Just hold your rifles still and then wait for my command We'll k** like savages 'cause we're unbreakable But what did you expect? We're f**ing animals Though what good is it to find the same sad solution? Another power hungry biased f**ing institution We took the fort, we stormed the gates But what kind of crooked paradox did we create? We took the fort, we stormed the gates But became the very thing that we hate We are the frayed, we are the torn We are the beaten and the scorned And now you've forced the beast to bare its teeth We'll come in droves like animals Hungry to reclaim our control As we fight to bite the bitter hand that feeds We are the frayed We are the frayed We are the frayed We are the frayed Where is the end, what have we done? We're what we swore we'd not become Despite intent a noble heart still bleeds Time goes on and history repeats
