lyrics

I fucking hate this crowd of useless morons
Wallowing in the mud of their mediocrity,
Inbred parasites saved from deserved abortions
Swashing with a trumped-up superiority,
Degenerated kine, darwinian aberrations
Prancing in a collective asininity.

Lecturing others waving symbols they defiled,
So-called defenders but corrupters of morals,
Abusing their congregation's faith for quarrels
Over trifles, sacrificing the mislead child.
Despicable icons of incumbent deeds undone,
Cowardly hidden behind holy scriptures,
The scum is seeping in every structures,
The cracking of the foundations has long begun.

Stepping forward, on and on, again and again,
Towards self-oblivion, filling their heart with void,
Getting rid of what once defined them as humane,
Apathetic creatures in a world they destroyed.

Neither impact, nor effect or repercussion,
Will have these maggots on the reality they spoil.
Dust to dust, anonymity to oblivion,
Their only worth will be to fertilize the soil.

No sparkle in their eyes as they stare at soulless screens,
Submissive to the tyranny of appearance,
Compelled to spread the pollution of their genes,
Perpetuating the subversion of cultures.

Lethargic, drooling, image-fed gullible dupes,
Reshaped over and over again for the needs
Of their gurus, ready to serve as their shock troops
Waving their ballot papers, banners and prayer beads.

Self-centered pseudo-individual herded in line
All set to binge on "food" ready to defecate:
The perfect cross between sloth, cockroaches and swine.
Absorbed in this oppressive crowd, I suffocate...

Gasping for air in the rancid emanations
Of this grotesque sub-living freak show of mankind,
Trapped in an era that embraced devolutions,
Forced to coexist with those I scorn, I weep, resigned...

The great degenerate circus is marching on,
Overwhelming, ubiquitous, inescapable,
Leaving the unorthodox enlightened unable
To alleviate an existence in frustration...

The circus marches on,
Blemishing our sights...
The circus marches on,
Blackening our lights...
