City of Maggots Lyrics


"USURPERS of truth at the top of the food chain

all DEPRESSED, DEAF, MUTE, BLIND and NUMB

CASTRATED characters, SPIRITLESS, marking time

managing expectations

living faster and faster and faster

proudly DYING of MEANINGLESS ANXIETY and BOREDOM

CURSING and FIGHTING, CHEATING and HIDING

MINDLESSLY fucking, KILLING and LYING

living and DYING

living and DYING

craving for POWER, CONTROL, LIES and BLOOD

LOST in a city of MAGGOTS

where everything's moving

yet everything seems so STILL

in SOLITUDE, MADNESS and MANDATORY DESPAIR

here

in the hands of MAMMON rest the basic rights of existence

all dressed in righteousness and grace

for the "promising future" of the human race

behold the SINS of the fathers piled up on the backs of their sons

the LANGUOROUS daughters and sons of man

still chasing their tails around a PITIFUL sense of freedom

END the TYRANNY of freedom

after all it's just another LIE

MONOTONY is MARSHAL LAW

the one true status quo

here

on the planet of MAGGOTS"
