lyrics

We declared a war
On the very foundations
Upholding the ethos
And found ourselves
Digging in unsubstantial filth

As we didn’t know
In the first place
That delusion was the only way through
And every success
Just a mere mitigation

We are
The suppurating upper crust
Chief advocates
For the unhinged
Ravings of a blind iconoclast

Now we all
Circle the drain
With heads back
To avoid the dizziness
But not the fated lingering stench
Of futility

And yet
We overexert ourselves
As if our choice
Ever meant something

We could have just spared our words
For the grave
At least the devil
Would listen and take a laugh

Among the preachers
And the moguls
Amidst the leaders
And the blatant superbs
You can sense the true horror

And the great disdain for beggars
Just a further symptom of self hatred

This shall be your heirloom
No pyre or burial mound
No kingdom or grand cathedral
But the ever still standing
Pennant of shame
