Shadowbound

Trade the lives of the powerless for the sport of mortal men

Blackened wisdom hails their cries for uniformed repent

Greed is the drug, the addiction is power

Afflicting the throng for the profit of empire

Enact the rites of hypocrisy for the scourge of relevance

Set in motion worlds apart all the herds of mindless men

Like cattle the herd are sent to their slaughter

The failure of freedom to counter the order

Without reason torn apart

As the faceless play their part

Another face to sell the score

Another mask to hide the cause

Face the shadowbound

Working underground

Decide without a sound

How our lives unravel

Trade the lives of the ignorant a collateral in blood

Falsify this paradigm to render all the brain dead

Soulless inaction the root of the cause

The fallout of judgment that sense the fall

There's only worth if you believe

The only value’s what you see

Yet things get lost behind a price

Of superficial edifice

Face the shadowbound

Working underground

Decide without a sound

How our lives unravel
