Cloaks of sickness keeping us sweet
Delusional blackness, fictional madness
Visionary blackness traps are set
Revolving mind-doors conspiring our downfall
Which came first? The lies or deceit?
Why did the suffering cross the divide?
The dealer sold his soul to hide
And left us on the other side
The business lessons for which we burn
Desolate loops in which we turn
Saga of fools, a voyage of trust
No contracts bound
Gathering dust
Which came first? The secret or the crime?
Where does the loyalty cross the line?
The dealer sold his soul to hide
And left us on the other side
Tranquilize our denial
Vengeance is mine
Capitalize on regret
Kick aside what aspires
Vengeance is ours
Our defense won't expire
Eat the shit with a smile, don't be frail
Our word is bound
Face the wall; fill the mold that we take
And break with our hands
Sign the line; it's your life
Don't be squeamish
Take the time, taste the sweat
Choke back your tongue
Mechanics, mechanics, mechanics of deceit
Glorified, butchered, bathed in malice
Sign the line; it's your life
Don't be squeamish
Take the time, taste the sweat
Choke back your tongue
Eat the shit with a smile, don't be frail
Our word is bound
Face the wall; fill the mold that we take
And break with our hands
Mechanics of deceit
Mechanics of deceit
Mechanics of deceit
Tranquilize our denial
Vengeance is mine
Capitalize on regret
Kick aside what aspires
Vengeance is ours
Our defense won't expire, so beware
