This can't be what man envisioned
How have we come to this?
We've fashioned a world of gluttony
Where good will just doesn't exist
Through all I stand steadfast
Striving to be a better man
Trying to stay positive
But success is just not in my plan

Brother vs brother
Trust now a thing of the past
Human nature manifests
Societal downfall comes fast
Egomaniacal beings
Consuming all that we can
Armageddon can't come sooner
Bring forth the fall of man

Can't endure this anymore
A selfish syndicate I've learned to deplore
All for one, insolvent ignored
Despondent souls
Population brought to its knees
Wipe clean this human disease
Agonized by the world we live in
Send forth oblivion

When does one just give up?
Where do we go from here?
Why can't we start over?
We'd only fail again
Drowning in our hopelessness
Choking on your breath
The iron chains of servitude
Will strangle us to death

Can't endure this anymore
A selfish syndicate I've learned to deplore
All for one, insolvent ignored
Despondent souls
Population brought to its knees
Wipe clean this human disease
Agonized by the world we live in
Send forth oblivion

Drowning in our hopelessness
Choking on your breath
The iron chains of servitude
Will strangle us to death
