Contagion

(앨범: Throes Of Joy In The Jaws Of Defeatism - 2020)

Perilous is the heart that thrives
Towards a new life is what they strive
Blood is lost as debts are paid
Against all odds in a jungle maze
Steam burns and skin is cracked
Families huddle on the roof racks
Boldly robbed in the night's glare
Human prey for corporate fare

Contagion
(Contagion)
Contagion

Greed is a contagion refined with a soulless poison
They negotiate in innocence with a greed that's infectious

Back to back on the spine of the beast
Willing to die if that's what it takes
Towards lands that refuse to accept
And build walls to blind eyes to the deaths
Out of fear, they run and hide
A glimpse of rapture their one true guide
The quest for what we take for granted
What should be done to help those disenchanted?

Contagion

Greed is a contagion refined with a soulless Poison
They negotiate in innocence with a greed that's infectious
Blood soaked currency dictating their doctrine
Baneful sadists
Greed is a contagion

Babies are hoisted aboard the carrion
Negotiations to escape
(Limbs upon limbs)
Bodies fall in the throes of sleep
Or in the humid darkness are raped

Summoning courage without guarantees (Without guarantees)
There's no going back, every minute they've seized
(Violent extortion)
The brutalities of this inhuman course (Inhuman course)
As their fragile governments try to enforce
Violent extortion
