Echoes of Despair - Immolation

Feeding ourselves to the structure

Striving for all that is wrong

Crying for all the wrong reasons

Living without any souls

A sense of perversion surrounds us

Its crafted perception is fading

More obvious now is the threat

The writing is breaking the wall

Feel it all spiraling down

Slowly rising…

This ominous power…

Beast of deceit…

Creeping towards us

Ready to show its teeth

Kingdom of conspiracy

Knowledge now contained

Building up our weakness

Subduing us with awe

Watching us play their game

Watching our freedoms fade

A crescendo of unheeded cries

Now cries of the persecuted

Feel its presence expanding

Swirling gently around us

Looming like a predator

Its putrid maw will devour us all

No one but ourselves to blame

No one but ourselves to shame

Watching us all from above

Watching our freedoms sink

Branding us for life

It’s all gone horribly wrong
