This song is about our heritage, and what little we truly understand about it.
lyrics
I'll take a crown of thorns, for a world of whores.
Menacing relentlessly.
Where does it hurt? Because I swear, that's where I'll be.
This defines me, this defines me.
For every ounce of guilt you feel,
the screams of a thousand more get sealed away.
For a little bit of security, go and assert the authority,
this is coming from the majority, the house always wins.
I was never one to judge, but I would put you away in any way that I could.
Oh, so tell me: am I a sinner yet?
"Yes child,"
"And can my soul be saved?"
"Give your soul unto ME,"
"I will not bow to a faceless deity!"
"Then be struck down by the wrath of a hateful god,"
"So take your best shot."
I'll take my seat in this choir of heresy,
"Calm child while we begin the festivities."
With a one-two-three, I called a toast, "The world is ours,
The world is ours!"
The tyrants shouted from the rooftops, "The world is ours!"
"We were founded to protect the investments of people we'll never see. Tell me, does that benefit you, or me?"
I wouldn't trust you, if you gave your life for me.
You can fill a thousand pages with lies,
but I don't need your sacrifice.
Run, and pick a side.
Everybody wants to sleep until the money starts to fall, well fuck that, take a step back, and let me show you how you started off wrong.
You see me breathing, wheezing, my heart stops beating;
life is no easy game.
I'm strolling, I'm rolling, and I'm so controlling;
this world is not the fucking same.
If you shove this down my throat,
I will spit it in your face. (You fucking hypocrite)
I've seen kings fall to their knees,
So I don't need your blessing!
NO!
(Need to force-feed me.
I've had enough.)
