All hope withers like a dying weed Irrational minds now warped by hate Opportunistic vultures come to feed On the carcass of the state Our eyes affixed on the hands of the doomsday clock Force fed fear and misery Systemic collapse light the match Stoke the fires of enmity Hear the bellowing horn of Abraxas It calls to the beast that lives in the heart of every man Possessed by its words spellbound by it's sigil The captivated masses guided by his hand Erect the gallows hang the betrayers Kill them all the dissidents must pay Those who've bred this malice reap what they have sown Engulfed by the surging flames Sulphurous smoke rises as chaos reigns An empire brought unto its knees Glimmers of light consumed by darkness Spirits devoured by the beast Gaze upon this grotesque visage of a collapsing dominion The summation of our failures Nihilistic violence bloodshed in the streets Vitriolic media poisoning society Exploited by your idols entranced by their facades Your leaders have deserted you abandoned by your gods Sulphurous smoke rises as chaos reigns An empire brought unto its knees Glimmers of light consumed by darkness Spirits devoured by the beast Doomed to repeat the cruel lessons of our bloodstained history The human mind a fertile host for growing hatred's tainted seeds
