[Verse 1]
You see your vision and no one else's
Your every word filled with sarcasm
Crucify people with invisible knowledge
Verbal destruction with each compulsion
[Refrain]
We will see where you go
The future for you is nowhere
[Pre-Chorus]
Every minute a cliché of your kind
Too much to say from a person with no respect
Your accusations you will regret
[Chorus]
From the mentally blind
Come ideas that are poison
Take away the power
A shallow person you will find
[Guitar Solo: Chuck Schuldiner]
[Bridge]

That reflects your lack of abilities
[Verse 2]

Despair is your gain, delight is corruption
Destined to fall prey to your stories
Creating problems for your consumption
[Refrain]
We will see where you go
The future for you is nowhere
[Pre-Chorus]
Every minute a cliché of your kind
Too much to say from a person with no respect
Your accusations you will regret
[Chorus]
From the mentally blind
Come ideas that are poison
Take away the power
A shallow person you will find
