Deathtruck - On the Shoulders of Giants

It begins with ignorance
Fighting to survive
The sways of deception
Chained to this assembly line

They look at the sun
And see themselves
Reflections of impunity lie upon the shelves
Yet conformity
Although revealed
Will not be concealed

The giant beholds the horizon
Peering through the veil
Yet will never reach the other side
Longing to prevail
To see beyond the blackening
As this world is torn apart

What will we stand on
Who will we be
Those that came before us
Give us eyes to see

In their vanity
They cannot see
That this suffering
Won't set us free

As the righteous man
Chained by his hands
Is condemned to walk alone

Those that paved the way
Although wiser than we
Their foundation of knowledge
Gives us rise to be free

We stand on the shoulders of giants
To gaze beyond the stars
Searching for a better world
In spite of who we are

The least of us
Is waiting to find
A way out of this life
And with humility
They walk this world alone

When we find our way
Who's to say
We'll ever live beyond
Our incessant need for hypocrisy
We'll never be set free

Led by thoughtless masses
Who would lead us astray
The truth is easy to find
For those with the will to fight

With this foundation we will rise
We will survive

The giant beholds the horizon
Peering through the veil
Yet will never reach the other side
Longing to prevail
To see beyond the blackening
As this world is torn apart

We stand on the shoulders of giants
To gaze beyond the stars
Searching for a better world
In spite of who we are

Everything rests on our shoulders
We must light the flame
To the youth of this world
With no one left to blame
