EXPENDABLE

The sunlight burns across the horizon
Slowly roasting the corpses I’ve crucified
Betrayal is second nature to me
As sure as breathing the toxins of Hell
 
When you find yourself all alone
Segregation in high demand
Spiteful in spite of everything I know
I will cross the line in the sand
 
We’re all expendable
Disposable and volatile
NO ONE
NO ONE
IS INDESTRUCTABLE
 
Devour the placenta of oblivion
The stillborn shell shall be served cold and raw
We sharpen our hooks for the feast
Dig deep to get to the heart of it all
 
M tyrant’s digging a way out
To sacrifice the lamb without
A lost hope to survive the coming storm
War with demons that will snuff out  
 
We’re all expendable
Disposable and volatile
It’s just a crucible
Perishable and cynical
 
NO ONE
NO ONE
IS INDESTRUCTABLE
 
EXPENDABLE
 
Alone in the dark
As you play the part
I’m sick of defending myself
Now you’ll be the victim
With no one but yourself
 
BLAME YOURSELF
BLAME YOURSELF
 
There are footsteps echoing behind you in the cold night
Can you see beneath the veil of doom? The face of your plight
You think you are fucking Jesus so you’ll die like him too
Walk your goddamn righteous path, I am coming after you
 
RIGHTEOUS PATH
RIGHTEOUS PATH
RIGHTEOUS PATH
RIGHTEOUS PATH
 
And when all of the lovely bones are surely growing their mold
In a mass shallow grave at the end of the fucking road
I have been assigned a title that I never did need
I have never been your Dark Lord because I’m your fucking King
 
We’re all expendable
Disposable and volatile
It’s just a crucible
Perishable and cynical
 
NO ONE
NO ONE
IS INDESTRUCTABLE
 
RIGHTEOUS PATH
RIGHTEOUS PATH
RIGHTEOUS PATH
RIGHTEOUS PATH
 
OF THE EXPENDABLE
THE EXPENDABLE
WE’RE ALL EXPENDABLE
