Lyrics
A mind lost within its own self Existing to feed its hunger Your body hollowed empty shell Awaiting feed of the ages Darkness will cover the mind Casting a shade on reasoning Immolation of the human self Conflagration of the ego Burn in your own hell Life grand holding cell Two become as one One become a slave Burn the eye to blind Keeping truth from mind Breathe in the life Breathe in the lie No longer are you human Just a leech of the addiction Loathing 'till insanity Mental deterioration Burn in your own hell Life grand holding cell To destroy the faith In humanity Burn the eye to blind Keeping truth from mind Breathe in the life Breathe in the lie Life shell shocks your empty shell Hatred for those privileged unlike you You think you will win But you can't face the System of self destruction Life skins mind bleeding dry Hatred for the self and the life To destroy the faith In humanity Burn the eye to blind Keeping truth from mind Breathe in the life Breathe in the lie Burn the eye to blind Keeping truth from mind
