Decline And Fall 가사

Captivate, prevaricate, the worst is the yet to come Just zero-sum directives, from silver, forked tongues A monumental fall, I stop, stare and contemplate how it ends Crushed in between, underneath the wheel Do I have a future, in this desert of the real? Slow atrophy, schizophrenic dreams Do I need a conscience, in this nihilist regime? Sowing, seeds of distress Left, right, through the center Reveal the hidden hand As it propagates vicious and false invective Decline and fall, the spear of osiris Decline and fall, the kiss of oblivion Decline and fall, the cult of deception Decline and fall No ties that bind, except the will to live Do I have a reason, something more than hate to give? Apex achiever, or food for the worms? Will I even care, once this world begins to burn? Sowing, seeds of distress Left, right, through the center Reveal the hidden hand As it propagates vicious and false invective Decline and fall, the spear of osiris Decline and fall, the kiss of oblivion Decline and fall, the cult of deception Decline and fall In this, dead institution, nowhere to go but down Another day in the status quo Another drop in the well of wasted hopes Orphans, in narcosis, longing for a past that never was You're all dead to me, as lifeless as a corpse ground to dust Insects, entombed, the woe of time and doom I spit and curse each day I walk this blighted earth
