Fit For An Autopsy - Birds of Prey

Eyes in the sky have you under control
The inner light collapses
In the blackest of the black holes
A sacrifice of body and soul
To the great leviathan
That swallows us whole
The mouth is sewn shut it cannot protest
The hands are shackled it cannot resist
The brain is poisoned it cannot question
Numb enough to function
Through mental repression
Fear is the perfect prison
Manipulate the model citizen
Abuse of power
The final hour
A crushing pressure to fall in line
As the machine grinds to a halt
For the last time
Birds of prey
Fly too close to the sun
And as the wings of the phoenix burn
The world will come undone
Eyes in the sky have you under control
The inner light collapses
In the blackest of the black holes
A sacrifice of body and soul
To the great leviathan
That swallows us whole
Paralyzed
We cower in the face of our demise
The parasite that consumes
The will to live from the inside
Oh wretched life void of serenity
A paradise turned to atrocity
Slowly conditioned to feel no sympathy
Failing future moral slavery
Fear is the perfect prison
Manipulate the model citizen
Abuse of power
The final hour
A crushing pressure to fall in line
As the machine grinds to a halt
For the last time
To the abyss
We surrender the fire to exist
Leviathan
Swallower of sin
We end where we begin
In nothingness
We end where we begin
In nothingness
We end where we begin
In nothingness
