[Intro]
Contaminated, nothing is sacred
Born and bred on pure hatred
'Cause they haunt our streets with a phantom fear
No one is safe, no one is welcome here
No one is welcome here
[Chorus]
Can you taste the poison in the air?
I swear it's everywhere, it's everywhere
Hidden in plain sight, lost in black and white
I'll chase the dying of the light
[Verse 2]
They want the victims to hang their heads in shame
Well, fuck them all, we won't play their game, we won't play their game
I've seen through every word the prophets propagate
This is a failed state
So read between the lines, this is a failed state
[Pre-Chorus]
No love, no empathy
Our fellow man is now our enemy
No love, no unity
Erase our souls, distort reality
[Chorus]
Can you taste the poison in the air?
I swear it's everywhere, it's everywhere
Hidden in plain sight, lost in black and white
I'll chase the dying of the light
[Bridge]
They will sow the seeds of blind contempt
Then let us bleed until our hearts content
Hidden in plain sight, lost in black and white
I'll chase the dying of the light
[Outro]
No love, no empathy
Our fellow man is now our enemy
No love, no empathy
No love, no unity
Our fellow man is now our enemy
