We drive knives deep into our eyes
And hope to see no more
But the maggots of memories
Still fester at our core
A tsunami couldn't wash away
The fear that wracks the mind
An extinction level event
Of all goodness in mankind

You cried, you tried to block
The lies and whispers of deceivers
But acknowledging the elephant
Will make you a believer

The hordes have broken through the gate
Red screaming battle rage
And weak complacent citizens
Starved the monster in its cage
We all spoke of revolution
While hoping it would never come
Cries cut short while killed for sport
And it's only just begun

You cried, you tried to block
The lies and whispers of deceivers
Too aloof for proof and truth'll
Cut right through you like a cleaver

We sat and tried to occupy
Have peaceful means prevail
But porcine fiends have bigger sticks
I'm afraid that ship has sailed
Culling our savage instincts
Since we're told it isn't right
By hypocritical vampires who
Drain us of our will to fight

We cried and lied and we defied
The urge to grab the cleaver
And now the elephant is dead
Cut down by unbelievers

Struggling with mass media
Induced panic attacks
TV will sell us all the knives
To stab each others backs
Time to pass the buck stops here
Our problems are no more
Except the maggots of memories
Festering at all our cores
Wrote it on the bus home from work today...
