๐ Lyrics
Thus spoke Zarathustra, "Silence is worse
All truths that are kept silent become poisonous."
Treacherous, meticulous, methods of your madness
Methods to your process, and methods to your progress
And I know you're the ones they say you are
Come to be the kingdom you've all tried to condemn so far
Raw materials, fed to the machines
Fed to your kings, your rings, playthings, and your queens
Burnt out, burnt doubt, weren't out to set fire
Weren't out to perspire, just out to be higher
Aspire--that's all any of us would do
But you assault the individual with your collectivity
Feckless puritans, the ones I detest
I've paid for your mistakes on the mouth of every dollar
Consumed by your own power, a bomb set within
The bomb's wick exposed, and I've yet to set it light
And I know you don't understand your own self
Cursed, misguided by the lies you've sewn
Watch the people you deceived tear down your decrees
Ironic, isn't it? You've become your enemy
Deceive us, pretending to champion our cause
Any cause, as long as it casts you more laws
No more chances, every single one of you to hell
And you've all got the audacity to lie to me?
I'm so sick of you, don't tell me who I should be
While you wave our flag of which you know nothing about
Look in the mirror and repeat after me
"We hold these truths to be self-evident."
And I know you'll claw my spirit 'til it's gone
But you'll find killing a man's soul troublesome, so come on
All truths that are kept silent become poisonous."
Treacherous, meticulous, methods of your madness
Methods to your process, and methods to your progress
And I know you're the ones they say you are
Come to be the kingdom you've all tried to condemn so far
Raw materials, fed to the machines
Fed to your kings, your rings, playthings, and your queens
Burnt out, burnt doubt, weren't out to set fire
Weren't out to perspire, just out to be higher
Aspire--that's all any of us would do
But you assault the individual with your collectivity
Feckless puritans, the ones I detest
I've paid for your mistakes on the mouth of every dollar
Consumed by your own power, a bomb set within
The bomb's wick exposed, and I've yet to set it light
And I know you don't understand your own self
Cursed, misguided by the lies you've sewn
Watch the people you deceived tear down your decrees
Ironic, isn't it? You've become your enemy
Deceive us, pretending to champion our cause
Any cause, as long as it casts you more laws
No more chances, every single one of you to hell
And you've all got the audacity to lie to me?
I'm so sick of you, don't tell me who I should be
While you wave our flag of which you know nothing about
Look in the mirror and repeat after me
"We hold these truths to be self-evident."
And I know you'll claw my spirit 'til it's gone
But you'll find killing a man's soul troublesome, so come on
