[Verse 1]
Egoism dictates human relations
A world where fashion outshines morality
Here success is written in blood-red colors
Designed by the thirst for power
[Pre-Chorus]
Gather the faithful and propose a toast
To the epoch of indifference
Gather the faithful
Gather the faithful and propose a toast
To the epoch of indifference
[Chorus]
An all too ordinary story
With an aftertaste so bitter, so bitter
Forced to be someone I don't want to be
I'm losing myself, sinking deeper down
I'm caught in the world wound web
[Verse 2]
A time represented by the void
An excuse without content
Stuck in the abyss of existence
With a content void of excuse
[Pre-Chorus]
Gather the faithful and propose a toast
To the epoch of indifference
Gather the faithful
Gather the faithful and propose a toast
To the epoch of indifference
[Solo]
[Bridge]
(An all too ordinary story
This is my story
With an aftertaste so bitter, so bitter)
(Losing myself
Sinking deeper down)
(I'm caught - I'm caged
I'm gone)
[Chorus]
An all too ordinary story
With an aftertaste so bitter, so bitter
Forced to be someone I don't want to be
I'm losing myself, sinking deeper down
I'm caught in the world wound web
