Slow atrophy, schizophrenic dreams Do I need a conscience in this nihilist regime? [Pre-Chorus] Sowing seeds of distress Left, right, through the center Reveal the hidden hand As it propagates vicious and false, invective [Chorus] Decline and fall, the spear of Osiris Decline and fall, the kiss of oblivion Decline and fall, the cult of deception Decline and fall [Verse 2] No ties that bind, except the will to live Do I have a reason, something more than hate to give? Apex achiever or food for the worms? Will I even care once this world begins to burn? [Pre-Chorus] Sowing seeds of distress Left, right, through the center Reveal the hidden hand As it propagates vicious and false, invective [Chorus] Decline and fall, the spear of Osiris Decline and fall, the kiss of oblivion Decline and fall, the cult of deception Decline and fall [Outro] In this dead institution, nowhere to go but down Another day in the status quo Another drop in the well of wasted hopes Orphans in narcosis, longing for a past that never was You’re all dead to me, as lifeless as a corpse ground to dust Insects, entombed, the woe of time and doom I spit and curse each day I walk this blighted earth
