Thus The Beast Decapitated

Feed us with guilt to break our spirit
Poison the mind to deflect the blame
Perpetrate acts to annihilate reason
Detonate feelings to transplant their hate

Lavished with love? To sedate reality
A life free of pain and hurt is a myth
Their bludgeoning quest for the truth relentless
Thus the beast is decapitated

Raped by memories long forgotten
Take what is said to manipulate
Summoned to crawl in the hour of despair
Punished and beaten, condemned we still care

Smiles mask an ulterior motive
We drink once more from the poisoned well
Apologies tumble like jewels from our lips
Thus the beast is decapitated
Thus the beast is decapitated
Thus the beast is decapitated

Smiles mask an ulterior motive
Thus the beast is decapitated
Apologies tumble like jewels from our lips
Thus the beast is decapitated
