Abdiel

The chains rattle with the rhythmic steps of slaves The manacles tight, there is no possibility of escape There is no opposition against Abdiel the hidden The continuous shuffle is the death rattle of the human race Strive and toil for her pleasure Your strain and agony are her delight Work your bodies until they break And know in your mind you are never good enough Blood and broken bones are the price you pay to live No other reward than to build up Babylon A lifelong enslavement from cradle to grave The laughter of your mistress echo in the dark So convincing is the method to push you forward You want to work to death, you want to be worthy Follow the leader off the cliffs into the fire Never questioning the path as your skin begins to burn Strive and toil for her pleasure Your strain and agony are her delight Work your bodies until they break And know in your mind you are never good enough
