Collapse (Era II): There Is No Calm Before the Storm

They say that knowledge is a weapon
And ignorance is a beater striking down those
Who shatter their blades on some brazen suicide ego
Their lies are the anchors of falling rocks
That's how they deepen the people's luck
They took life, million ways and plenty
Turned it into drug deals with pain and tragedy
Melted the middle class and left a rock
And they give us a good word like they don't give a fuck

Pigs are dead, put an end to all resistance
Leave your hands dirty, stand at a distance
Fill their eyes and the outside ranks
Let them rot, kill the rats
Cause pain will bring you back
So we make history once again
With the strength of our scapegoats once again
While the ice is new
They sell the product new
There is no innocence
Only half used shoes of guilt

We fail for their sakes, we flaunt it, they drink
We flaunt it, they sink
We smoke and hands are clean
We fail for their sakes, we flaunt it, they drink
There is no innocence

Corroded system is starting to rot
Delicate ivory, but quick to snap
It's the same people again
They're fucking with me, crawling against us
They sink, but can't dig deep
We find their dead bodies and try to walk into the pool
Hoping for a miracle

From guilt to hate
The trust that you take
The fall begins
Wait for it, mate
From guilt to hate
The trust that you take
The fall begins
They try to tempt me
