Ravening wolves
Snarling at your doorstep
Menacing grins and a grim intent
Change your life with a single vote
Remain obsolete and abandon hope
Wolves snarling at your doorstep
Menacing grins and a grim intent
Change your life with a single vote
Remain obsolete and abandon hope
Do you speak the language of hurt?
Their reign only makes it worse
They live to watch you squirm
Don't try to run with the wolves if you belong in the dirt with the worms
Thriving on chaos and riots in the streets
We scatter like rats while they watch from ivory peaks
Destined for failure and desolation
We bow to the tyrants free of immolation
Architects of malice and crime
We follow the shepherd, blind leading blind
Dwelling in poverty, what a fucked society
Rebirth in anarchy
We've become submissive, obedient sheep
Mouths sewn shut as we oil the machines
Behold corruption in liberty
Hear the silence echo as freedom rings
Behold corruption
Prod the cattle and prey on their fears
Their screams are voiceless falling on deaf ears
Send in the wolves and watch them fucking cower
We're all ripped to shreds by an abuse of power
We've become submissive, obedient sheep
Mouths sewn shut as we oil the machines
Behold corruption in liberty
Hear the silence echo as freedom rings
Guard your bones or pay to heal
Our weakness is the contentment we feel
Earn your wage so they have something to steal
We were bred to serve, bred to kneel
