Fruit of the Poisoned Tree - Virulent Depravity

I am the scapegoat you need

When you can’t control yourself

Give me your hatred

Hopelessness and anger

I alone am here for you

Despite your unforgivable atrocities

I help you to close your eyes

And give you the words

To step upon the neck of your enemies

I give you the strength

The cruelty for the darker days to come

I will let you sleep in the womb of your fantasies

I can push away the need for symptomatic empathy

Take a bite of what I offer you

I give you the enviable gift

Knowledge of the future we’ve planned for you

Open your eyes and see you’ve been a slave

Bide your time

Attack upon your faith

You are not the only one who has been called here

Now they have come for you

Others arrive

Now they have come for you

Time is of the essence

I offer two simple choices

Go your own way

Watch the world leave you behind

Take a chance and hear me out

I think you’ll understand

They will trample over you

You must do the same to them

You’ll fly into the sun

And rain down justice on your enemies

I give you the cure

To eliminate the guilt you’ll encounter

Thousands have arrived

They feel no rage or pain

Mentally dismembered

They bow to your disdain

You are my favored one to capture the highest prize

Ignoring their anguish

Petrification

They claw and pile to the sky

To steal what you have earned

You are superior

Your motives revealed

You observe the crawl of reanimated flesh

Turning to stone in the sunrise

I have made a bridge between you and immortality

They were symbols of ignorant decline

Crying out for their demise

Unable to move or scream

As they became part of the machine

Now you walk upon

The glorious decay of your enemies

You capture the prize

You are prepared for the vicious storm to come

I watch you take a bite

You’ll never be the same

You are now the master

Yet none survive as slaves

Now you will turn into that which you hated

Don’t despair

You knew what you did

But you just didn’t care

At the end of the road you’ve paved in blood

There is nothing

The good in you is dead

The good in you is dead
