What's on the other side for us?
Do we let others decide for us?
Is justice just defined by the ones that thrive
And we adjust our moral compass to align with the times?
Free will often comes with a price
We're told that we must pick a side
But the lines can get blurry with dust in your eyes
Corruption and vice is tough to disguise when you're reluctant to comply
It's easy to rebut and deny if you block out the dozens of cries
Stand for what you believe or drop to your knees
Either way, you'll need to pray for what's to proceed
Monsters and beasts aren't always conjured in dreams
They manifest in palace settings, sit atop of the seats
Sending orders, top prep for slaughters
And best you'll be cornered, at worst left debauched
Never-endingly tortured
Don't ever forget who you are from distrust and deception
'Cause trench waters show a muddied reflection
You are naked on the inside
And there's a beast in the hall
But I will see you on the other side of the wall
I am ashamed of what we have become
And I am so afraid the worst is yet to come
Why? Why was I born this way?
Look into my eyes and you will know
Everything must die, every 13 years or so
Revenge is bittersweet
But it's a meal that I can eat over and over again
Feeding the monster within
You are naked on the inside
And there's a beast in the hall
But I will see you on the other side of the wall
