lyrics

Fought for it
A moment in time defined by peace
Raped for it, bled for it, lied for it too
Heard of wars
Heard rumors of wars and we were not alarmed
Sacrificed freedom, confidence in lieu
The end came
We had all but died so it went unnoticed
We had already embraced what we once only knew
Survival long proven our sinew
Barbarity reigns from underneath
Captivity long the acting mechanism upon the unconscious
A reaction amongst reactions,
This burying of the desire to dream
The first breath, the final gasp
It existed so it exists
To what end?
Supremacy
The creature's need to worship
Is the beastly desire to sacrifice
And the beast's desire to sacrifice
Is the need to punish himself
Certain animals attack themselves
One animal believes
Certain combinations manifest anxiety
Others manifest belief
To what end?
Supremacy
Loved for it
A moment in time defined by war
Prepared for it, prayed for it, lived for it too
Knew others loved
Knew others loved and we were not alarmed
Learned to plan for what would ensue
Eventual
The collision of forces in pursuit of one aim
One idol, one image, one meal, or one dream
Everything just as it seems
Barbarity reigns from underneath
Captivity long the acting mechanism upon the unconscious
A reaction amongst reactions,
This burying of the desire to dream
The first breath, the final gasp
It existed so it exists
To what end?
Supremacy
The creature's need to worship
Is the beastly desire to sacrifice
And the beast's desire to sacrifice
Is the need to punish himself
Certain animals attack themselves
One animal believes
Certain combinations manifest anxiety
Others manifest belief
To what end?
Supremacy
