Victims And Pawns - Sylosis

Poisonous minds corrupt those within reach

Innocent souls molded by complete misery

I am alone watching it all unfold

An absence of faith yet I can’t remove these shackles from my throat

They will creep into your thoughts

Deconstruct your moral code

They will bend and they will break

Every law to feed their cause

Bleeding you dry leaving nothing behind

So they can march to the dying heartbeat

Cowards and fiends align

Reshaped, transmogrified

Noose tied, bound hands and feet

Coveted eyes to ultimately deceive

I’m coming undone

Splitting at the seems

The blindfold so tight around your ears

It drowns out a thousand fucking screams

They will creep into your thoughts

Rip apart your values

Offering the sacrificial lamb

To appease your fellow man

How many times can you take the strain

Return to your feet, endure it all again

Blessed with the honesty of a thief, I’m waiting

How many times can you lie through your teeth

To be human is to sin and in death is honor for all men

Closed eyes see past the misguiding light

Take a breath to absorb the darkness in life

Pulling in two directions

Two minds yield unto corruption

How many times can you take the strain

Return to your feet, endure it all again

Blessed with the honesty of a thief, I’m waiting

How many times can you lie through your teeth

To be human is to sin and in death is honor for no men
