Cauterized Lyrics


Ignorance with impunity

Running the gauntlet not a path to the end

Shattered hourglass under the foot of the god

Dominating structures that are built to last

Condemning bloodlines to reprise their past

The voiceless now ensnared

Unwritten law

Repeat

The same paradigm

No change

This paradigm

Masquerade

Age after age feeding the weak

Nourishing flame to fuel machine of hate

Adversaries close the gates

The hunter and the prey

Engraved in monuments

Prestige and power in hypocrisy

Refusal to face the truth

The pendulum swings

Ignorance with impunity

Tyrants

Shall forge their chains

Running the gauntlet not a path to the end

Shattered hourglass under the foot of the god

Dominating structures that are built to last

Condemning bloodlines to reprise their past
