Dead Eyes

The thrones rise for the clowns
They feed on grief and poverty
And the mourn their loss
Of something they cannot see

The shades of their madness
Are boundless on the map of your mind
We are imprisoned by the fading surroundings

If you steal our hope
Does the guilt corrode
You from inside?

Beneath the surface the water is septic
We drown with the flood
Rip off the skin from the bones
And devour all that's left in this void

Crawling in agony and weakness
The pestilence is here
Shut down all conscience
The virus is near

If they read our minds
Do my thoughts reveal
Who I was?

Dead eyes
See no insanity
Hollow minds
Feel no fear, no pain, no sorrow no guilt

Feed the filth to the masses
To conceal your lies
Carve out our blind eyes
Paint black our shallow sight

We have been made
Blind to this violence
Take away all you can carry
Without greed you're left behind

If they read our minds
Do my thoughts reveal
Who I was?

Dead eyes
See no insanity
Hollow minds
Feel no fear, no pain, no sorrow no guilt

Bow before the great future
Your life is determined
From cradle to grave

Your mission here is to achieve
Deceive and proceed
