We set the fires
And watched the ocean as it burned
We set the fires
Cleansing the past to save their future
Now looking back on all the torture
The sordid games we had to play
Until our time became elastic
This was the only way to erase what they’d done
A city fallen
Left in ruins
Due to the corruptible ones
Faces mutilated
Made unrecognisably wrong
Self afflictions from all the addictions
Served by all the moral-less scum
When all humanity’s been lost
Then Society rots
No respect just more neglect
They say you give what you get
All the consumption made them all a fortune
Not a care for the cost
Too corrupted by their greed
They received what they deserved
The cost was what we knew as our future
Manufactured to the duty of a medicated pair bond
Freedoms so forsaken both our lives and the young they’d taken
These families lose their minds searching for the young they'll never find
From the lairs
The puppets
The thieves and false prophets
We took back the lives they'd stolen with our pride
Fortunes kept them blinded
To this flame that we’d ignited
And they met their end from the innocent they condemned
We were born for so much more
Became intent to destroy
From what we’d learned of their misdeeds
That Brought this city to its knees
Raging war between the rich and the poor
It inevitably ends
Yet nobody wins
Just face the flames and disappear
Never to return
Butchers of the body of the mind and soul
No time to repair
Amidst the depths of despair
We saved the young and their future
Before the ocean came to sink with the horror
We set the fires
And watched the ocean as it burned
We set the fires
Cleansing the past to save their future
Now looking back on all the torture
The sordid games we had to play
Until our time became elastic
This was the only way to erase what they’d done
They’d taken liberties
Taken lives with lies again and again
Self deluded fiction
Sold with all malicious intent
Evolution guised as a solution
For their lives that they’d signed away
Illusions of choice
And their delight in the plight of the innocent they’d enslaved in this hell
When More bodies just meant more profit
They didn't care for the rest
Loyalty is put to the test as we sink to the bottom
Of the bottles
The pills
The cheap injected thrills
Tools devoid of morals
Left with all the riches from the slaughtered
It's in their mind
Forcing death when they decide
Once they stole all of the value from our lives
The liars
The puppets
The thieves and false prophets
Their Addictions Left them blinded
To the civil war that they’d ignited
We got out of this hell
And they were shown how vengeance felt
Their blood gave us their memories
Of All the atrocities they’d committed
We were born for so much more
Became intent to destroy
From what we’d learned of their misdeeds
That Brought this city to its knees
And this raging war between the rich and the poor
Brought to inevitable ends
Yet nobody wins
Just faced the flames and disappeared
Never to return
Butchers of the body of the mind and soul
No time to repair
Amidst the depths of despair
We saved the young and their future
Before the ocean came to sink them with
The horror
The pills
The filth injected thrills
Dependent to a fault
Even as this bucket rots
From the liars
The puppets
The thieves and false prophets
Addictions left us broken
With all our homes a faded token
Of the memories when we weren’t of the abandoned
When we were loved
Before they stole us
For all their greed that kept them blinded
To this flame that we’d ignited
And The good that they’d besieged
Came to bring them to their knees
Bring Them To Their Knees
Grovelled To The Monsters They'd Created
Begging for Compassion and Mercy
You Made Your Bed
Now Fucking Rot In It
We set the fires
And watched the ocean as it burned
We set the fires
Cleansing the past to save their future
Now looking back on all the torture
The sordid games we had to play
Until our time became elastic
This was the only way to erase what they’d done
