Lyrics

"We aren't their cattle

We're not being bred for slavery..."

Thought trained to succeed

From here on the pain begins

We're maggots cast in a sea of struggle, bait for the big fish

Crawl, forever crawling

Faith holds no answers

Ravenous - they greedily suck away your will to even argue

A belief in something better

Downtrodden, hopes still linger. faces bear the same shallow fear of

Forgotten prosperity

Powers change

The promise of reward. declarations false and unjust

Tame insecurity

A dreamlike notion that life passes by

Cushioning the blow of impending reality

Aimlessness is flogging us - awake!!
