Opiate Of The Masses

[Altus/White]
 The future is scarred by the bloodstained past
 Haunted by disgrace
 Holy wars that are never ending
 Forever fight of faith
 Don't accuse these meaningless symbols
 Created by mankind
 Will they recognize their own creation?
 Can they be so blind?
 Fools manipulating all they see
 Cruel as the world can be
 Cries of pain as the tortured souls
 whither away into the dust
 Power is the fix
 And man is drawn to it
 The illness and the lies
 The virus never dies
 To captivate the minds of the masses
 Tell them what they want to hear
 And for those who will oppose you
 They will live in fear
 Domination your favorite sensation
 Operated by remote control
 In your hands are the lives of the helpless
 Their fate they'll never know
 Fools manipulating all they see
 Cruel as the world can be
 Cries of pain as the tortured souls
 Whither away into the dust
 Power is the fix
 And man is drawn to it
 No matter the cost of what's won or lost
 Addiction planted the seed
 That sprouted the tree of greed
 The illness and the lies
 The virus never dies
 Control your own destiny
 Get rid of insecurity
 There's little truth in what they say
 Don't let 'em steal your life away
 Power
 To this world brings death and destruction
 Leaving the earth in decay
 Money
 Breeds organized crime and corruption
 Who says that crime doesn't pay?
 Greed The green-seeking virus that spreads
 And manifests your selfish needs
 Spreading the addiction
 Man's own contradiction
 When it's themselves that they deceive
