Calls of distress echo through the maze
 
 Whose name on the list is next?
 
 This caustic derision, the abject death
 
 As we collapse in this open-ended cage
 
  
  Now is all we have
 
 Yet blind we dance into the void
 
 As we follow the one who leads from the rear
 
 Hail to the chief: Megalomaniac!
  
 
 And we're hammering the nails down
 
 As we each die clinging to the lies
 
 That hold our world in place
  
 
 One by one, we reach the precipice
 
 As progeny of vice and avarice
 
 Bleak is the vision, the cult end-time
 
 These are the days of the faithless God
  
 
 And we're hammering the nails down
 
 As we each die clinging to the lies
 
 That hold our world in place
  
 
 Rivals—not equals, all against all
 
 Compassion rendered null and void
  
 
 Breach and division, moral charades
 
 Absurd inquisitions, sanity fades
 
 We fake dissent, we breed deceit
 
 Each fuels the other endlessly
  
 
 And we're hammering the nails down
 
 As we each die clinging to the lies
 
 That hold our world in place
 
 And we're hammering the nails down
 
 As we each die clinging to our lies
