lyrics

Pettiness in flight
Dredging up filth
On the other side
Moral indignation
Suppressed envy
Signaling their worth

To the master goes the knife
Momentum flows to the peak
Mislead understanding
For every action
Inverse reaction
Subversion of the truth

If you've seen this hour
Then you've seen all things
Let others grow weak in their ignorance
And watch the pendulum swing

Servants galvanized
Idolatry in sway
Arrant subjugation
The moral compass
Lust for acceptance
Assembly of the meek

Denial unrestrained
Ancient portents feel the weight
Undue erasure
The fools enraptured
Momentum constant
Coming back the other way

If you've seen this hour
Then you've seen all things
Let others grow weak in their ignorance
And watch the pendulum swing

Sisyphean task
The incessant patterns claim
Rapid undulation
Unbroken cycle
Rejected lesson
Retribution spurs the fray

Hate
Progress?
Thoughtless
Refrain
