Shackling the Long Usurped Lyrics


Caged in barbed wire

Like animals penned

Trapped in "safe" havens of human dissent

Dumbfounded that it's come to this

All that disdain for the so called insane

Dragging the corpse of your "so sure" reality

Completely fucked in this nightmare

Cut deep by the odds

Thought your trust would ultimately save you

Your heart dies as you watch your children starve

Crawling through the dank shit & despair

Praying to your god

The tragic flaw of your imagination's figment

You've denounced all the signs & now you plead "why?"

Shackling the long usurped

In shame you grovel on battered knees

Your soul a petty coward

Betrayed by the hollow depths of your beliefs

And their worthless promise

Choke on the words of your barren honored pride

Your failed insight is death deserving

Embrace your punishment, drown in the cruelty

As your "hand me down faith" collapses

Cut deep by the odds

Thought your trust would ultimately save you

Your heart dies as you watch you children starve

Crawling through shit & despair

Praying to your god

The tragic flaw of your imagination's figment

You've denounced all the signs but now you realize

Shackling the long usurped

As time harvests the worthless & weak

Drink the fluid of agony's spoils

You chose safety over liberty-Dark Force Fodder - Dark Force Fodder

Pure torture soaks the carnal ground

Fear & anguish the very air to be breathed

Chains from conception materialize-Dark Force Fodder - Dark Force Fodder

Impaled on solution

Stabbed with decline

Force fed with darkness

A shattered spirit crucified

Cut deep by the odds

Thought your trust would ultimately save you

Your heart dies as you watch your children starve

Crawling through stagnant shit & despair

Turning on your god

Still sure to blame something nonexistent

You denounced all the signs but now you realize

Shackling the long usurped
