“Contemplate This On The Tree Of Woe.”

These obvious manipulations
Predicated on the basis of morals
The unseen eyes, so careless in their calculations
Forever washing

The blood from their hands with an appetite insatiable
Forced down your throat, demand your full attention
Forging their way, no sorrow, no sense of shame
Eyes to the floor, didn't we see this coming?

Five bitter years, this lie is indefensible
Countless bitter tears and more shed every day
But there's a change coming on, we gotta right these fucking wrongs
They can cover their ears but we won't stop screaming

The mighty fall, this curtain's coming down
Sputtering excuses for the mess they brought us all
Keep them inside, maybe we can block the exits
How do they live with

This blood on their hands with an appetite insatiable
Forced down your throat, demand your full attention
Forging their way, no sorrow, no sense of shame
Eyes to the floor, didn't we see this coming?

Five bitter years, this lie is indefensible
Countless bitter tears, and more shed every day
But there's a change coming on, we gotta right these fucking wrongs
They can cover their ears but we won't stop screaming

Did we turn and look the other way?
While our fates were sealed and plans were made
Did we choose to stop this runaway train?
And it just kept on rolling

Deception is what brought us here, now truth will end the fear
This crossroad lies before us now
And the world watches our every move while we choose which way to go
We still have so much left to lose
