Lyrics for Shattered Existence

Chained and shackled, besieged with mistrust Life a handout that pushes its luck Betrayal a virus that hides in us all Buried deep down where integrity has drowned Oppression ruled by bloodshed Is this the feeling of a shattered existence? Bound and gagged, no value or use Unjust enforcers policing the truth Visceral dictatorship stripped to the nerve Designs of entrapment that fake its concern Oppression ruled by bloodshed Is this the feeling of a shattered existence? Punished or purified - who has the answers? Deliver us from a shattered existence Morality poured down the drain Sickened from the germs of our atrocities Chameleon serpents breed in the corruption Ground down in squalor Their negative bacteria thrives on the innocent Cancerous corporate elite Instincts of fear awakening our resistance Marauding hordes
