Shadowbound Lyrics - Singles - Savage Messiah

Trade the lives of the powerless for the sport of mortal men 

Blackened wisdom hails their cries for uninformed repent 

Greed is the drug, the addiction is power 

Afflicting the throng for the profit of empire 

Enact the rites of hypocrisy for the scourge of relevance 

Set in motion worlds apart all the herds of mindless men 

Like cattle the herd are sent to their slaughter 

The failure of freedom to counter the order 

Without reason torn apart 

As the faceless play their part 

Another face to sell the score 

Another mask to hide the cause 

Face the shadowbound 

Working underground 

Decide without a sound 

How our lives unravel 

Trade the lives of the ignorant a collateral in blood 

Falsify this paradigm to render all brain dead 

Soulless inaction the root of the cause 

The fallout of judgement that senses the fall 

There's only worth if you believe 

The only value's what you see 

Yet things get lost behind a price 

of superficial edifice 

Face the shadowbound 

Working underground 

Decide without a sound 

How our lives unravel
