Lurk behind the scene Growing in strength You should have seen this coming your way You could have stopped it But you never believed You're blind to the truth of reality Living in peace In the myth that you thrive Always rejecting the invisible hand Misdirection and lies Tell you all is alright Believe in us lest you will never survive Patiently Systemically Devouring Relentlessly Facing epic collapse As your system fails You never really even had a chance Chaos and havoc Panic in the street Just a foreign concept that you've never seen Waiting for the day When the interest is raised Suppressing the needs of a changing world Devoid of life A point of no return The time has passed to save your own fate Patiently Systemically Devouring Relentlessly Engulfing all of our lives With no end in sight Countless victims on a massive scale Compounding every day In manners seen and unseen Affecting the ways of the human race Gutless 'leaders' unite Keeping power contained Our future is doomed for the price of a bribe Bracing for the shock When the correction arrives And you begin again in a different life Patiently Systemically Devouring Relentlessly Silently Encompassing Gradually Then Suddenly

Never be afraid Your strength is who you are We didn't want to change So now you have no choice Everything around you Tries to pull you down There's no such thing as 'fair' You've got to make it on your own You hold the weight of the world Feels like the weight of the world You didn't ask for this No relief is on the way Innocence is lost When reality sets in You're fighting for a chance To prove that you belong This burden on your head Will never hold you back You hold the weight of the world Feels like the weight of the world The time will come when you Will either stand or fall Another chance to see How we've let you down So you carry on And try to make it through While we walk away Because the end is near You hold the weight of the world Feels like the weight of the world You hold the weight of the world It's just the weight of the world

In this world There is pain Come tomorrow You'll understand To play the game You need a chance The new normal Is here to stay Those who live Don't co-exist Rigid laws Determine fate Some rise up To stake their claim Others falter Then fade away Don't turn away from this life Desire burns from inside The change will come in time Only the strong will survive The ones that fail Will never learn Constant victims Remain content Delusion rules Becomes ingrained Lost rationale Seals their fate Weak aside Build strength within Know what is real And what can be Defend yourself But guide the way The light is on It will remain Don't turn away from this life Desire burns from inside The change will come in time Only the strong will survive Light the flame Forever brave Move ahead Never stray Chase the dream Without delay No regrets Take control Seize the day
