All Else Fails - Obedience At the Altar of Sacrifice

In this life, a fucked up story is told
Miles apart from what we know to be true
But there's a war to be fought for your undying souls
There's power in knowledge so it must be controlled

These motherfuckin' strings from above
Put the words in your mouth like the actor is on a stage
Did you know that there's no free thought and we're all the pawns of fate?
Time to reclaim what is gone, what is lost, it's a birthright we can't trade
But the way you react to all you've lost is your true humanity

Cut the ties to dependent minds
Take this chance to reclaim your life

But this is not what you're looking for

Searching for answers, you look to the sky
But truth never comes from above
So many reasons for you to be afraid
Until you look to the unknown

Is this really what we asked for ourselves?
No reason to care
No reason to try
And none of that matters when all of our problems get resolved from the sky
Why would you want to live when it's so much better to die?

And I never knew why they lied
And I never knew how they died
Or where you get the balls to claim you weren't a fucking waste of life

But this is not what you're looking for

Searching for answers, you look to the sky
But truth never comes from above
So many reasons for you to be afraid
Until you look to the unknown

We all do our best to never be afraid
But we're all in the dark

I'm waiting for something to save me
My sins are erased but still I cannot be free

Searching for answers, you look to the sky
But truth never comes from above
So many reasons for you to be afraid
Until you look to the unknown

We all do our best to never be afraid
But we're all in the dark

Cut the ties to dependent minds
Take this chance to reclaim your life
