Cloaks of sickness keeping us sweet Delusional blackness, fictional madness Visionary blackness, traps are set Revolving mind-doors conspiring our downfall Which came first? The lies or deceit? Why did the suffering cross the divide? The dealer sold his soul to hide And left us on the other side The business lessons for which we burn Desolate loops in which we turn Saga of fools, a voyage of trust No contracts bound, gathering dust Which came first? The secret or the crime? Where does the loyalty cross the line? The dealer sold his soul to hide And left us on the other side Tranquilize our denial Vengeance is mine Capitalize on regret Kick aside what aspires Vengeance is ours Our defense won't expire Eat the shit with a smile, don't be frail Our word is bond Face the wall; fill the mold that we take And break with our hands Sign the line; it's your life Don't be squeamish Take the time, taste the sweat Choke back your tongue Mechanics, mechanics, mechanics of deceit Glorified, butchered, bathed in malice Sign the line; it's your life Don't be squeamish Take the time, taste the sweat Choke back your tongue Eat the shit with a smile, don't be frail Our word is bond Face the wall; fill the mold that we take And break with our hands Mechanics Mechanics Mechanics of deceit Tranquilize our denial Vengeance is mine Capitalize on regret Kick aside what aspires Vengeance is ours Our defense won't expire - so beware!
