Lyrics Privilege - Cipher

Privilege

MAN-CHILD IN HEAVEN
PLAYING INSIDE WINTER’S COLD
NATURE’S CRUEL
This Privilege grants you peace
WEIGHTY BURDEN.
Your offerings feed the beast
CIVILIZING.
The other is the feed
SAVAGES.
Like ghosts in words and deed
In ways and means we build this beast society
This privilege feeds on piety
Ignore the nascent screams we endure patiently, you support latently in lost
sobriety
So who are you?
As you profit from accumulated wealth of 500 years of Making mutilated shells
of women and men
This privilege you ignore yet inherit weights your spirit and makes you suited
for a hell
Where your pockets, filled with gold, weigh you down to the wells
Where they drink from your soul and expose all your tales of ravaging children
of eleven and twelve then preaching on the pulpit of your brethren in pale
INHERIT THIS HOLY PRIVILEGE WATCH IT KILL YOU
OBLIVIOUS OF YOUR ILLNESS.
IT BETRAYS YOU
SMILE, FRAIL LITTLE WEAK BOY FREE YOUR BODY ENTER SERVICE TAKE YOUR PRIVILEGE
REDIRECT IT
REDEEM YOUR POSITION.
REDISTRIBUTE WHAT YOU’VE EARNED THROUGH YOUR BIRTH
Release, your privileged peace
FREE YOURSELF.
Choose to cure your disease
HEAL YOURSELF The Other will get free
REDISTRIBUTION.
Expose a lasting peace
