A system built upon greed A virus left to its own devices Exacerbating its mode of destruction Decadence from within Perpetual lust for power A never-ceasing desire to conquer all Corruption thrives On the allegiance of the ignorant Beclouding a multitude of minds Rendering a profound slumber Deepening throughout the ages Enslaving the ones it vows to destroy Leading the sleepwalkers Unto fiery graves Resistance subdued The winds of vicissitude Vanquished to oblivion The illusion of liberty bestowed False nectar To satiate their barren spirits Inducing waking coma Drained of all livelyhood Derelict and bare Bereft of future and hope Greed thrives and lives on endlessly An illness of our own design Thoughts of freedom hoped for Lead deeper into enslavement The souls of the world in shackles Servile to the ones we have condoned The Truth will set them free
