Feast Of Ashes

(album: Make Them Beg For Death - 2023)

In weakness there's a stench that slowly rises
Packs of wolves surround there's no surprises
To chum the water stirs and starts a frenzy
Appeasement first spawns more evil entities

With no poker face your foes look to disgrace
Advertising frailty making sure others see
Educate your rival ignorant of reprisal
Pretend that liability does not cause hostility

Reimaging how the world truly sees things
Forgetting that we are all unique human beings
Trying to shame only creates their laughter
Unwittingly planning our own utter disaster

You're the clueless mark to lead us to utopia
Instead, we got the free ride straight into dystopia
Spewing into the air is the peak of nonsense
Proudly regurgitating the lack of common-sense
Setting us up for one colossal dreadful fall
Making the bed we'll sleep in one and all

Disciples of the watch will cover with deceit
Pointing at some enemy indeed make-believe
Priority is symbolism, heretic of security
Aimed at imaginary and overlook reality

Trashing prosperity
Devalue everything
What will be left?
Nothing promising

When the hash tags stop armies in their tracks
You know you're in the future with unity at last
Virtue signals and changing profile pic
Believing true power comes from a click
Only in our world of complete and ultimate luxury
When violence confronts only then you'll see
While busy to ruin or get people fired
It's selfie time, trying to prove that you're desired

Reduced from superpower
A carcass to pick and scour
Beat down from all the clashes
Leftover a feast of ashes
