lyrics

alone inside my own world
where everybody's dead
but outside the real world conspires against me
when the slaves revolt they will cut up the gluttonous worm
then it will be their turn

each cycle - another segment on the worm
each segment awaits a turn
each halving conceives new life
each new life continues the cycle of bondage

hermaphroditic parasite
you've ruined paradise
self-perpetuating cycle oscillating

inciting the slaves to burn
taunting, teasing, goading the mob to cut up the gluttonous worm


once more you wear the chains
and once more you will live in a life of pain

the empire you took is wrecked
and the collar is fitted around your neck

this is your price to pay
another end to another day

the cycle never ends
and you are doomed to repeat it again and again and again and again...

now they wear the mask
now they're in control

knives out
knives in
cut the worm in half again

oscillation of the sine wave
endless cycle undisturbed
the oscillation keeps repeating
the halves mature instead of breeding

each piece will grow into a boy
each boy into a slave
each slave will find religion
religion is what saves
courage of the righteous
will rise up and break the chains
the spoils will be taken
and the blood will leave its stains

once accustomed to wielding power
complacency will follow
into an apathetic daze
and then a junkie's wallow
back into the chains
back into the shame
back into the pain
the cycle still remains
unbroken

bondage
faith
courage
liberty
abundance
selfishness
complacency
apathy
dependence
bondage
