Beyond Grace - Barmecide Feast Lyrics

And now behold, a feast befitting famine, a decadent display
Of shameless arrogance and ignorance barely disguised as disdain
What have we done to deserve such callous disregard?
Watching them grow fat upon our labour as we struggle not to starve
Manna for the masses, perpetuates the lie
With bread and circuses they keep us meek and pacified
You must beware, the path of good intentions, it paves the road to hell
And those who claim to lead you will not pay the toll themselves
How much of this can we endure?
Til we cannot swallow any more
All that glitters is not golden, and empty promises are easily broken
Leading us into starvation, feeding us a liar's banquet until we choke
Gnawing at the feeble scraps, falling from their table
Forcing us to claw and scratch for every meagre morsel
Barmecide feast, belly of the beast
Bite the hand that feeds you, before it bleeds you dry
Bite the hand that feeds you before it bleeds you dry
All that glitters is not golden, and empty promises are easily broken
Leading us into starvation, feeding us a liar's banquet until we choke
Barmecide feast, belly of the beast
Bite the hand that feeds you, before it bleeds you dry
Barmecide feast, decadence deceives
It's all an illusion, there is no honour among thieves
