lyrics
congratulations human
you made it to the top
the scriptures of humanity
cite your name as the new saviour
spotless stainless self outshines
the ones that stood between you and your goals
but deep inside there lies the truth
the truth that you can't hide
can you smell the bodies
the skeletons in the closet
the heaps of corpses you created
on your way to the top
the dead piled up skyscraper height
a gigantic monument to your own fate
a sea of blood poured out in your name
the writings on the wall that spell your fame
the cracks in your facade
seem to widen day by day
the smile that fooled the world
is growing desperate
no more changing the tracks
that've been running successfully through your life
no way to silence the unholy voice
that calls out for your blood
calls out for your blood
now it's out in the open
your soul and sins lie naked and bare
you're screaming for mercy at the hand of your captors
no way to escape their menacing stare
the dead ones the fools that led you so far
the stepstones to power the stairs to your might
the blind believers that followed you after
the ones that you've robbed of both moral and sight
