Shadowbound

[Music & lyrics: Dave Silver]Trade the lives of the powerless for the sport of mortal menBlackened wisdom hails their cries for uniformed repentGreed is the drug, the addiction is powerAfflicting the throng for the profit of empireEnact the rites of hypocrisy for the scourge of relevanceSet in motion worlds apart all the herds of mindless menLike cattle the herd are sent to their slaughterThe failure of freedom to counter the orderWithout reason torn apartAs the faceless play their partAnother face to sell the scoreAnother mask to hide the causeFace the shadowboundWorking undergroundDecide without a soundHow our lives unravelTrade the lives of the ignorant a collateral in bloodFalsify this paradigm to render all the brain deadSoulless inaction the root of the causeThe fallout of judgment that sense the fallThere's only worth if you believeThe only value's what you seeYet things get lost behind a priceOf superficial edificeFace the shadowboundWorking undergroundDecide without a soundHow our lives unravel
