Poverty of Self

The broken suffer brought to their knees The guilty prosper, consumed by greed A vicious cycle stuck on repeat The innocent stripped of humanity You build your walls to keep us in Imprisoned in our apathy You live a life of selfishness While we carry the deadweight Corruption Endless division fueled by fear Destruction The end is drawing near The broken suffer brought to their knees The guilty prosper consumed by greed A vicious cycle stuck on repeat The innocent stripped of humanity The classes separate, watching as the guillotine swings Crippled with no recourse, they begin to take the lead Ushering an age of dynasties, we are never free This is Hell This is Hell Poverty of self You build your walls to keep us in Imprisoned in our apathy You live a life of selfishness While we carry the deadweight Corruption Endless division fueled by fear Destruction The end is drawing near Poverty of self Powered by a blood-red greed, you lurk Searching for a means to spread your meaningless worth
