lyrics

We decay, living predetermined lives
Grinded under the machines plundering the earth
Imprisoned in an illusion of choice
Disempowered by the decrees of the bloodsuckers

Why accept the shepherds
Who serve our decay?
Why abide by the structures
Founded upon mass graves?
Why endure this hell
Branching through vile institutions?
Why not sharpen our blades
To cut down all the strings attached?

We'll bathe in the blood of the rulers
To be cleansed of these shackles
We'll choke the masters with the strings
To walk free

Caged, what act is more rational than resistance?
It injects meaning in existence
As it's a pathway to freedom
And as it's in itself freedom

History is made by you and me
By our insistence on being free
History is made by you and me
By our inacceptance of this misery

We're the dynamism that fuels this dialectic of liberation
We demand the horizons that yearn to be free of subjugation

We demand autonomy
To be the composers of our own destiny.
