Verse 1

Blinded souls, starve and shiver
abhorrent visions, tormented dreams
blasphemous propaganda, full of lies
I can't escape these walls
if you feel my pain
You will also feel all my suffering
the constant onslaught of pity and guilt

Chorus

Everybody wants to hang but not me 
I'm just looking for the rope
my life’s been foretold 
since the day I was born
I look around and see a world pretending
No peace, no cause for hope
blackened, is the fate, of the human race

Verse 2

feel the violent surge of pain
death for you comes slowly
restlessness has become your being
first there comes the pain
tempered in malice and in grief
present, future, both looking bleak
little do they see what's lying far beneath

Break

Verse 3

Fragmentary truth, has made you inept
internal unrest, emotional decline
Going through all the pain in this reality
nightmares, that dwell, beneath our beds
aversion, so putrid, ignorance so sweet
waiting for the screams of pain
carnage they covet, feeds the cradle for a day

Chorus

Everybody wants to hang but not me 
I'm just looking for the rope
my life’s been foretold 
since the day I was born
I look around and see a world pretending
No peace, no cause for hope
blackened, is the fate, of the human race

Verse 4

Blinded souls, starve and shiver
abhorrent visions, tormented dreams
blasphemous propaganda, full of lies
I can't escape these walls
if you feel my pain
You will also feel all my suffering
the constant onslaught of pity and guilt
