Deranged and bloodstained
Envying the slaughtered
These poor souls
Imprisoned
Defilement
Ensued
To the sound of Madness
Hear the cackling
From the cursed scribes
Deep below
Their vile, sickening insight
Like straws pulled at random
From the grasp of lunacy
In secret feasting on the red ink
Despite their punishment
For taking what's not theirs
The suffering accumulates
A social dissonance emerges
Some are ecstatically out of their minds
While others slave, cohesion diverges
He spoke on and on
From the ziggurat's top
And made promises only the gods could fulfill
The wheels keep turning on this aimless machine
Curse the traitor
Praise the savior
Defilement ensued
To the sound
Of madness
Corruption
Is a price we had to pay
Gladly we sacrificed social cohesion
And let the scarred wander the streets
His promises
Spoke to the greatness of our gods
Of our new god
These fools bought into a lie
Told by a man who thought he knew the truth
Defilement ensued
To the sound
Of madness
