lyrics:
All this time, I have held my pride
It has grown inside like a parasite
And it's in my lungs, and it's in my mind
And it's in my mouth and the pit of my stomach
Shaking me, now it's breaking me,
Slowly taking away my inner peace
And there's no release from the agony
And it's dragging me on my hands and knees to cower...
Kneel in the face of our zero hour.
Take, take, take, til there's nothing left
And I am bereft of a sense of self,
Til my body holds the invasive soul
Of the all-familiar puppet master
Justify and internalize
The infernal lies, and i'll improvise
Every sordid note in this symphony of infamy
My integrity is martyred.
I get back up, but then I fall harder.
Leave me broken
Split my body open
Phantom oppressor,
Soon you will possess my mind.
He was born in a land of ancient myth
In an age long, long ago
His sacred land was taken
He swore his vengeance would be swift
And the pain would move slow
Martyred,
I'm sinking faster and falling harder.
Leave me broken
Split my body open
Phantom oppressor,
Soon to be my possessor
Demonic grandeur,
My master and my commander
Will I live through the revenge of Montezuma?
No...
Never!
NEVER!
