"Contemplate This on the Tree of Woe."

These obvious manipulations
 Predicated on the basis of morals
 The unseen eyes, so careless in their calculations
 Forever washing the blood from their hands
 With an appetite insatiable
 Forced down your throat, demand your full attention
 Forging their way, no sorrow, no sense of shame
 Eyes to the floor
 Didn't we see this coming?
 Five bitter years, this lie is indefensible
 Countless bitter tears, and more shed every day
 But there's a change coming on
 We gotta right these fucking wrongs
 They can cover their ears
 But we won't stop screaming!
 The mighty fall, this curtain's coming down
 Sputtering excuses for the mess they brought us all
 Keep them inside, maybe we can block the exits
 How do they live with this blood on their hands
 With an appetite insatiable
 Forced down your throat, demand your full attention
 Forging their way, no sorrow, no sense of shame
 Eyes to the floor
 Didn't we see this coming?
 Five bitter years, this lie is indefensible
 Countless bitter tears, and more shed every day
 But there's a change coming on
 We gotta right these fucking wrongs
 They can cover their ears
 But we won't stop screaming!
 Did we turn and look the other way?
 While our fates were sealed and plans were made
 Did we choose to stop this run-a-way train
 And it just kept on rolling
 Deception is what brought us here
 Now truth will end the fear
 This cross road lies before us now
 And the world watches our every move
 While we choose which way to go
 We still have so much left to lose.
