about

Reformation by Shroud of Despondency. Lyrics inspired by Carl Panzram.

lyrics

A wish that determines truth
An overwhelming impulse that dictates all action
A wealth of malicious proof
Reasons reformation brings satisfaction
1000 hosts to a violent will
Penetrated in a chain reaction
21 voices shrill
Snuffed out in the name of putrefaction
The only way to reform is to kill
Give flesh to the gutters
No need for man, God, nor Devil
This lesson taught by others
Might makes right
One race, one neck, one set of hands to alleviate the pain
One wish for even the harmless and weak, fade out to disdain
Disdain personified, spiteful flood tide
Everything grows to die, reform or live unfortified
One race, one neck, one set of hands to alleviate the pain
One wish for even the harmless and weak, fade out to disdain
Disdain personified, spiteful flood tide
Everything grows to die, reform or live unfortified
Contempt epitomized, reason dignified
Moral purpose uncivilized, project onto the victimized
So full of hate
No reason for love
So full of hate
No reason for pity
So full of hate
No reason for kindness
So full of hate
No reason for honor or decency
The only way to reform is to kill
Give flesh to the gutters
No need for man, God, nor Devil,
This lesson taught by others
This lesson taught by others
