First Casualty
Blank stare gazes upward
Don't dare speak a word

The truth lies in a grave
Her headstone reads fraud
Facts buried alongside
A decomposing God
For all of our grasping
At last we will now share
A boundless well of shame
And despair

Bullshit is a sacrament
Our faith writ in excrement

Seduced by self-regard
Weakened by vanity
We will make no attempt
To preserve sanity
Viciousness now enshrined
Begetting violеnce
All those who would resist
Brought to silеnce
This is normal now

Rejection of reality
Embrace of this banality
Succumb to mob mentality
Await the last decree

They handed you the tools so you could build a snare
You were just following the rules, a hapless pawn going nowhere
