[Lyric] The Masquerade Part III: Degradation (Pillars of Autumn)

You've fallen prey, your heart grows colder
As you give into the ways of the fraud
Divergent, this path you've chosen is fraught with dismay

Where is your heart
Where does it lie

Relinquish the hands of mortal men
Give unto the powers that bestow such confidence
Martyr yourself for a new generation
You lack the power to continue on
With free will you'll never succeed
Give yourself to me

No! Continue to fight this evil
These wolves in sheeps clothing
They seek to destroy the weak
And banish free thought forever

Fuck the collective
Fuck the need to fit in
You're better
Better than the fiction they've built
You know you're not alone

Give yourself to me

Rise! Face this crowed filled with fools
Let me be your muse, paint with such sweet desire
Nurture your hate
Your fire

Slit your fucking wrists
Bleed you fucking pigs
You’ve given up on yourself
Walk now into oblivion
Walk now into hell
