Belie the Machine - Black Crown Initiate

A species was chosen to lie for

A species was chosen to tame

A brain stem, emotion, and devastation

Logic suppressed, spirit stripped away

A human was told what to stand for

A human was told who to blame

No questions for answers that retch for freedom

Consumed in fire, mortar, and scorched clay

Feign grace, save face at all cost

Now take our place with all that we’ve lost

Belie the machine that hurts you

And you are ashamed

Belie the machine that breaks you

And you are to blame

Here lie all the lives deserted

Kept from the light

A human was told what to stand for

A human was told who to blame

No questions for answers that retch for freedom

Consumed in fire, mortar

And scorched clay

A reason was chosen to die for

A reason that no one could name

A grave for its creatures with no distinction

Logic suppressed, spiritstripped away

Feign grace, save face at all cost

Now take our place with all that we’ve lost

Belie the machine that hurts you

And you are ashamed

Belie the machine that breaks you

And you are to blame

Here lie all the lives deserted

Kept from the light of day

We will be shaken by the earth

And forsaken by the sun

As cursed rite of birth

Is frantically undone

Backwards and downwards

Through right and left nerves

Stripped of all garments

While gasping for words

Black sky above and infinite below

Manifestations we no longer know

This is not a dream

This indignity.(2x)

Writhe internally

Wake eternally.(2x)

Backwards and downwards

Through right and left nerves

Stripped of all garments

While gasping for words

Black sky above and infinite below

Manifestations we no longer know

Feign grace, save face at all cost

Now take our place with all that we’ve lost

Belie the machine that hurts you

And you are ashamed

Belie the machine that breaks you

And you are to blame
