lyrics

An empty sea of white
A veil, hiding the grotesque structure
A facade brought to decay
Masking the stench of a rotting ideal

A herd of mindless sheep
Brought to their knees in a fierce subjugation
Their voices dripping in hatred and fear
Of their own feeble self-decimation

The road less traveled
Now cleared, and trampled by ignorant fools
The executioner's axe
Still dripping with blood from their necks
As the righteous endure

A single word, softly spoken
Could tear their world apart
A single shred of truth
Would rend their disgusting innards bare

The grating sound
Of feeble excuses for flocking
While preaching the virtue of self

The incessant claims of distinctiveness
Laid bare by the mirrors of truth

The road less traveled
now cleared, and trampled by ignorant fools
the executioner's axe
still dripping with blood from their necks
As the righteous endure

This fallen man
A pathetic excuse of a creature
Writhing in self enforced lies

Drained of all cognitive thought
A mindless contradiction
of professed qualities

This spineless, wallowing beast
Would open a vein
For a brief recognition

This worthless, parody of man
Would shrink at the first sign of retaliation

I've followed this barren road for too long
This way leads nowhere but ruin
Prepare your sacrifice
Everything you know
There is no return
And we can never call this home

I am not one of them
For this ravenous beast
I have laid to rest
So this tragedy of man
Takes its final breath
This vortex forever
Draws me in

The road less traveled
Now cleared, and trampled by ignorant fools
The executioner's axe
Still dripping with blood from their necks
As the righteous endure
