Victims and Pawns

Poisonous minds corrupt
 Those within reach
 Innocent souls moulded by complete
 Misery
 I am alone
 Watching it all unfold
 An absence of faith yet I can't
 Remove these shackles from
 My throat
 ♪
 They will creep into
 Your thoughts
 Deconstruct your moral code
 They will bend and they will break
 Every law to feed their cause
 Bleeding you dry leaving
 Nothing behind
 So they can march to the
 Dying heartbeat
 ♪
 Cowards and fiends align
 Reshaped, transmogrified
 Noose tied
 Bound hands and feet
 Coveted eyes to ultimately deceive
 I'm coming undone
 Splitting at the seems
 The blindfold so tight
 Around your ears
 It drowns out a
 Thousand screams
 They will creep into
 Your thoughts
 Rip apart your values
 Offering the sacrificial lamb
 To appease your fellow man
 How many times can you
 Take the strain
 Return to your feet
 Endure it all again
 Blessed with the honesty
 Of a thief
 I'm waiting
 How many times can you
 Lie through your teeth
 To be human is to sin
 And in death is honour
 For all men
 Closed eyes see past the
 Misguiding light
 Take a breath to absorb
 The darkness in life
 ♪
 Pulling in two directions
 Two minds yield unto corruption
 ♪
 How many times can you
 Take the strain
 Return to your feet
 Endure it all again
 Blessed with the honesty
 Of a thief
 I'm waiting
 How many times can you
 Lie through your teeth
 To be human is to sin
 And in death is honour
 For no man
