Carnival of Souls

Indentured now as servants trapped beneath the weight

Bone crushing reality that snared the hand of fate

Saviours to soldiers all are perilous in mind

To starve a nation yet and pander to its pride

Concealed within

Apathy routine

And yet we preach

Can you believe that people never thought of asking?

What more do we forfeit when scared of the unmasking

Concealed within

Apathy routine

And yet we preach

Dead as the prophets warning

Drowned in the same mire

In carnival of souls

We march to expire

Broken the wreckage points to constant self renewal

So treat the symptoms once more, blind to the fall

Concealed within

Apathy routine

And yet we preach

Dead as the prophets warning

Drowned in the same mire

In carnival of souls

We march to expire

And through the degradation

Passed by a single cause

This through control is reason

Enslaved forevermore
