Poisonous minds corrupt those within reach
Innocent souls molded by complete misery
I am alone watching it all unfold
An absence of faith yet I can't remove these shackles from my throat

They will creep into your thoughts
Deconstruct your moral code
They will bend and they will break
Every law to feed their cause
Bleeding you dry leaving nothing behind
So they can march to the dying heartbeat

Cowards and fiends align
Reshaped, transmogrified
Noose tied, bound hands and feet
Coveted eyes to ultimately deceive
I'm coming undone
Splitting at the seems
The blindfold so tight around your ears
It drowns out a thousand fucking screams

They will creep into your thoughts
Rip apart your values
Offering your sacrificial lamb
To appease your fellow man

How many times can you take the strain
Return to your feet, endure it all again
Blessed with the honesty of a thief, I'm waiting
How many times can you lie through your teeth
To be human is to sin and in death is honor for all men

Closed eyes see past the misguiding light
Take a breath to absorb the darkness in life

Pulling in two directions
Two minds yield into unto corruption

How many times can you take the strain
Return to your feet, endure it all again
Blessed with the honesty of a thief, I'm waiting
How many times can you lie through your teeth
To be human is to sin and in death is honor for no men
