Welcome to the moment of reckoning The side walk stained from the blood rain Something epidemic hidden deep within our DNA Something that humanity could never comprehend is altering our chemicals Imbalancing our sentience What is left? What is right? What is backward? Tentacles of ignorance imprinting in our matter Puppeteering pawns with the sight of a kaleidoscope, fallacy and actuality are blurred and mangled We have awakened into something we cannot control as a mechanical anomaly is taking hold The influence of electronic gratification had embedded in our souls synthetic rigor mortis And so we sit, stuck Following as sheep into the pit, fucked Watching planetary zombification Whittling defiance into the construct Plugging into the terminal diagnosis The virus of mass hysteria spreading and turning global The focus is knowing only the polarizing important pieces whether or not they're making enemies of the closest individuals Blood is not thicker than winning your argument, until the population divides itself by its politics And now the bloodlust grows as the blood sprays And now we see a dark dawn of a new day rise Take a breath, fall in line, watch the hours slipping by Beautiful distraction introduction to the fall out Say a prayer, face your god, feel the silence creeping up It's the motherfucking introduction to the fallout Now, the sun eclipsed from the vision Of a planet's inhabitant's technological dependence With a wealth of information a button or 2 away The need for holding intelligent capacity came to fade Deadened by the frequency of viewing inhumanity Dehumanizing matter and material infatuating Any kind of culture with admission to the horror show Of viral graphic violence at fingertips Desensitizing until we are the harbingers of suffering A vacancy of decency and general morality Is creeping into many who anonymously linger At the comfort of an argument as venomous antagonists Impossible to fathom the weight of the new decline So difficult to liberate from harvesting our mind So fluid are developments a torrent of expansion Passes in the time between the time it takes to blink an eye While hidden from our sight are the motherfucking rights That are claimed to be inherent by the leaders of our kind Broken and battered the commoners are falling into The facade of an elitist with self interest in mind So the blind lead the blind through darkness Undertaking of a burden we've been forced a part with Until the weight of holding up the wealthy causes Crumble and decay Take a breath, fall in line, watch the hours slipping by Beautiful distraction introduction to the fall out Say a prayer, face your god, feel the silence creeping up It's the motherfucking introduction to the fallout

ROOT OF IT ALL 03:31

If there's enough funds available to put to the cause Then there's a human being willing to commit to the clause There's not a task in the world that there isn't a price to A simple 9 - 5 or taking innocent life Do the math from addition, division, subtract or multiply A dollar amount could force a morality nullified The sickest commitments carried out on a daily basis - for what A piece of paper branded with dead president's faces We put a value on literally everything we see From a bottle of water to fostering human beings It's obscene, borderline offensive that we're trained to dream That we'll live in this system submissive to that money green I mean how silly is it, seriously, hoarding colored paper That's legitimately worth about as much as water vapor Doesn't matter if you have a lot or little at all The simple fact remains that Money is the root of it all Money is the root of it all Money is the root of it all The root of it all Money is the root of it all And there's a whole world on the other side of your door But while we're starving the homeless We're fronting cash for a war We make investments into image and Investments into self And invest in stock, hoping that it leads to greater wealth But we'll never be free from that inanimate object We hold and fold together to fit it into a pocket The ones who have the most of it in essence have control But don't realize that evil lies in presence of that gold What's the goal, get enough stacked up so that in time All those bank accounts can be the furthest thing away from mind Why should paper be the driving force behind what we do We work, pay taxes and try to be okay with nothing new All the same, it's always a game Some people have mastered The code to get a bigger sum to hoard and collect faster Whether you be up at the peak or whether you fall The simple fact remains that Money is the root of it all Money is the root of it all Money is the root of it all The root of it all Money is the root of it all

Systematically we're lined up in a social assembly Steadily freaking them out for the scent of the adrenaline energy Been a sentry centered within a sentence of sentience Breaking apart the lies so old that we could carbon date them centuries This aint even the beginning of ending it, at the turn of events Of relentless, endless supremacy We're entering into the point of no return At the dilapidation of all civilization as we know it Take a deep breath, hold it in and then blow it and watch the candle smothered Of what little light we had glowing Under a sea of primal ignorance, ideas are flowing Watching living Darwinism in effect and on-going There's not a thing anybody can do that's gonna be making it go away Breaking our minds from inside of them, hollowing out our personalities It's time to recognize who we criminalize and lock away Another day, minor drug offenders locked in cages Capitalism is a catalyst allowing sacrificial immolation Offering a practical entrapment of a category divided by class from everything As laughingly, the Baphomet is spreading its wings We are one nation under an all seeing eye Hidden under a mountain of corporate lies We are one nation scorned who are wondering why They can lock up your body but can't build a cell for your mind We get trapped in debilitating patterns with hypocritical leaders The present is looking bad but the future is looking bleaker Getting weaker with every second spent in regret And too much blood up on the pages of history to forget For what reason is it that we go judging all other people And leaving nothing but solitude, hatred and seething odium And now the planet dismantles under the animals Banning all living matter that isn’t part of the plan We have a tapestry of color that we could add to the spectrum To utilize another perspective we haven’t stepped from and let some Eyes open up instead of accepting a blindfold Kept under cover and never let go We have the power to write the future to history And live on a planet where equality's not a mystery If we could understand the importance of every action Together we could prove we can rise up out of the ashes We are one nation under an all seeing eye Hidden under a mountain of corporate lies We are one nation scorned who are wondering why They can lock up your body but can't build a cell for your mind We are one nation under an all seeing eye Hidden under a mountain of corporate lies We are one nation scorned who are wondering why They can lock up your body but can't build a cell for your mind
