Monster

Step by step it’s closing in
Inch by inch it will taste your sin
You and me we will both succumb
This is something that we can’t overcome

Word by word it will draw you close
Lie by lie blown by wings of crows
Most of us will fall I fear
When the darkness draws ever so near

Say is there a way out of this
To believe that there’s truth, and lies we all shall dismiss

But
These are the monsters
The instigators
Fire-starters
They walk here among us
Are we the monsters?
The perpetrators
The malignant
That walks here among us

Trust displaced, we'll bleed you dry
Lost of faith, replaced by lie

We are the monsters
We are the cancer
Abominations
We walk here among us

Sip by sip from a poisoned cup
Bit by bit it will tear you up
It is hard to fight what we don't see
Raised with broken backs down on our knee?

Blow by blow the nails are driven deep into our mind
Our shame, our fears inside our souls confined

But
These are the monsters
The instigators
Fire-starters
They walk here among us
Are we the monsters?
The perpetrators
The malignant
That walks here among us

Trust displaced, we'll bleed you dry
Lost of faith, replaced by lie

We are the monsters
We are the cancer
Abominations
We walk here among us
