Let me die In the streets tonight I can't find The stars in the city sky They must dine In heaven beyond my sight Black and white I won't apologize War, famine, pestilence And unjust death Are all our stories tell The gods are malevolent Discriminate So tonight let's burn in hell Worlds decay Eat away the shades of gray Burn the stake Use it to light the way Judgement day Callous minds decide my fate I will pay But so will they War, famine, pestilence And unjust death Are all our stories tell The gods are malevolent Discriminate So tonight let's burn in hell War, famine, pestilence And unjust death Are all our stories tell The gods are malevolent Discriminate So tonight let's burn in hell Mercy's a pearly gate To separate Where our angels fell The righteous can segregate But hate breeds hate So I'll see you in hell

Narrowed our gaze Now we're stuck in our ways And the parties can rage You only get two! Narrowed my mind Ill-equipped to define What's the truth and what's lies You only get two! Filtered content Nullify our dissent Kiss the fucking pavement You only get two! Narrowed our gaze Now we're stuck in our ways And the parties can rage You only get two! Manufactured concept There are idols/ideals to erect And we'll revel in the dreck You're fading... Politicos on parade There are issues to evade Enjoy the brutal charade You're fading... Distort the standpoint There are suits to anoint And demographics to exploit You're fading... There's discourse on the news Let the static bleed through And pacify me and you You're fading out

You came from humble beginnings Back then your crest it meant nothing Market place was an empty space Until you made it your own And now there's no more rooms for guilt In the house your twisted morals built Your family tree's an effigy And it's rotted down to the roots Quantify your father's love Ostracize the son for fucking up The mother won't cry when she sees him die Because now the family will be in better company You're coasting on your state of grace You pledge allegiance and false faith Normalcy smeared from ear to ear But nobody will buy Your sociopathic words mince Much like the ignored impotence Your mistress feigns ignorance But she's laughing to the bank Monetize your life blood It's easier to dispose of The town will respect your selfish sect And ability to clean house in the name of progress And when the notion starts to resonate You'll be cost cut into a shallow grave Your last breath was a justified death Because your children learned compassion from a faceless figurehead

Oh baby, you hate yourself I think your rage is justified You never cared that much And now your sins eat you alive Your lips are stained with blood Hard to rely on severed ties Can't recall what it was Oh, how the little things divide You see the white or the black Your fears so choreographed The world sings your epitaph I think your time is running out Oh baby, you love your drug Even when you rot on the inside You try to mask it but Your veil does so little to hide Heretics called it what A slow decay or suicide? I'll see you in the slums I hope our pain is worth your high You see the white or the black Your fears so choreographed The world sings your epitaph I think your time is running out You see the white or the black Your fears so choreographed The world sings your epitaph I think your time is running out

On with the show, we've got shit to sell And our showmanship goes unparalleled Light up the stage, we'll light up the sky It's the final act, are you ready to die? The world's our stage so act out your part Conquered, complacent is your character arc It's almost comedic in its tragedy No standing ovation, get down on your knees It's the final act are you ready to die?
6.
I fought for god and country My brothers did the same The service promised us glory Because no one dies in vain Their cries now echo my own In my family's empty halls Sleepless nights I walk alone Faceless names upon walls My son was a brother and father He praised our god's name Protected his lambs from slaughter And then the war hawks came They torn his flesh from body He was a peaceful man Not a soldier, a killer or "haji" Just a victim of circumstance Through destruction I find solace Courtesy of my complex Empire's before have fallen I'll be damned if mine is next Replace your politics With the drones of demagogues Your souls are up for bid When I'm done you'll call me god
