lyrics
Chained to the earth with shackles made of gold. Mortal coils twisting up and binding you in promises. Sight unseen, your path to hell draws out before your feet, so with crooked gait, meander toward your death within a death. This is my sound beyond sound. You will not drown out my disgust. Always the summers of excess fade into the winters of incontinence. Gluttonous and selfish, stay your course. Avaricious and wealthy, show no fear. You will never answer for your crimes. Put the judgment seat below the trough. Cozy in a diamond cell, you made it for yourself to dwell within. Trade eternal life to enjoy beyond your scope. The prophecy has come to pass. Your ilk devours itself. Desires build upon desires, manufacturing your downfall. Cold calculations have been made. All thought and reason now betrayed. Black marshes melting human flesh. Picked clean until there’s nothing left. The treasures you’ve amassed won’t say goodbye.
