Exception To The Ruled

(album: Dissent - 2004)

Blood encrusted eyes
Staring out in space
The revolution mind
The overbearing thought that I
Am dying in this place
Alone within the crowd
This never ending race
A war comprised of all against all

A burning awareness I've been deceived
A life lived out crawling here on my knees?

Born in from the outside
My conscience will not let me breathe
Have I sacrificed my last hope
That something in this world
Is worth more than money or the state
'Cause the hate in my heart will never wait

All-observing eyes, watching from above
Big brother to us all
Explain away the system's faults
You'd never last a day in my battered boots

Bursting with tension my work is done
One day here too many a call to arms

Challenging this order
The voice of the voiceless unchained
I will vomit on your pompous morals
I'm the one you nailed down
Abstainer, the slayer of deceit
And I am back for my feast

Words are buried, suppressed and contradicted
Tongues are muted, dislodged and diluted

Dissenting, alive
A traitor you can only hope to be
You'd deny my right to shove it
Back in the face of the master?

So I present this drastic declaration
We'll send this shit upon its way
Burn all flags and burn all nations
And live your life in your own way
