The Weakener |
Why should I care: |
The writings on the wall — no future |
Cynics sow disdain, as pious retroverts unrestrained |
What vision can ever rise from this worthless human waste? |
Like ghosts from '68, a generation still lost in space |
Narcissistic automatons, caressing techno-fetishes unknown |
Maybe I’m deranged — a Herbert West inside of me |
Hoping to raise the dead — to find some life in this species selfish-bred |
Atavist! |
As I watch your |
Institutions decay, contradictions remain |
Institutions decay, weakeners… so weakening |
They bait, cast and reel, to the passive so ready to kneel |
With hooks so firm in mouth, they carry forth on this path unbowed |
So quick to turn away, so quick to unleash the blade |
As cracks across the dam, still hold back a world we can’t comprehend |
Atavist! |
Institutions decay, contradictions remain |
Institutions decay, weakeners… so weakening |
Cut the cord and start the fire |
Ass seers of oblivion, all color turns to black |
Forfeit the unknown, upon the rack of circumstance |
So goes the folly of man, a fool in a forest of fear |
«As you like it,» they will say, «…there’s plenty more just like you here» |
