Scarifice Lyrics


Steeped in the horror

Of such clear reflections

Past regrets

Cowardly actions

Boundaries break

Depraved satisfaction

We dismiss

Our victim’s reactions

Mirror of shame

Reflects what we’ve made

As we sought

Justice so poorly

Voices silenced

Cut-off by strangulation

Lesson taught

The source desperation

We walk

Upon the earth

The earth

Is dead

Never, to be

Risen

Forever rotted

We walk

Now is the time of judgment

Trade nonsense for substance

Or we lose this race

A speeding bullet to the face

Pretense

Shattered

Choked out;

Blind to the matter

I hear you;

Hoarse from screaming

Please judge me

Please stop me

Please force me

Please end me

We are a festering death march

Repel each other, broken and bled from the start

Our value reduced to currency

Melting ice, bleaching coral, raising seas

Annihilation pushed into our hearts

It’s how we know that we can’t win out

Counterfactuals cannot account

For the lies which you flaunt

I want to scream,

I want to cry and shout

Voice ignored, feelings wasted

Actions questioned, choices all in doubt

Gun to the head

Boys raised to slaughter

Blood in the streets

Who breeds these monsters

Put down the rope

Try to keep your brother

Think of someone else

If you can even bother

Against safety nets

See the poor flies

Then try to forget

Cut their life line

Ensure their destruction

So angry feast on each other

Grow fat bloody with

Consumption

No stronger

Still a construction

Can’t handle metaphors

Easier to label women as whores

Other victims targeted with ease

So tiny cocks can flap in the breeze

All - of - it -lies

Spiritual suicide

Can - you

Bring back water

Dignity, justice, power

Due - for -a

New birth

Why torch

The womb first

You stand behind

Imaginary lines

Laid down like shit

Cuz you couldn’t get a grip

Your understanding

A matter of pride

Not even caring

That to you they lied

Your lucky guess

Won’t support the rest

Gloating and observing

Won’t stop the storm from coming

Instead you pretend

Pretend you’re a strong man

Pretend you’re enlightened

Pretend that you’re not frightened

See what’s at stake

Hear the claims you make

So loudly silent

In a sea of violence

Obsession with freedom

Won’t serve as a reason

Truth is a weapon not

A pointless distraction

Truth we have spoken

Fascists must be broken

Your ego can’t be fed

When the earth is dead
