lyrics

In hubris we act as sovereign
Yet traverse the earth like ants
Rapacity indoctrinated
The truest trait of man
Now to decide

Assimilate, crawl through the hive
Fill a purpose, find a way to provide or
Rot in the streets as you fight to survive
Pay with your time, blood, body or life

Feed yourself off this grand machine
As it's hooks dig deeper
The avarice can't be contained
This is our only way

Avarice
Can't be contained
Avarice
Our only way

The arrogance of our fathers
Will reciprocate itself in time
The debts they've sewn compound the unborn will pay the price

Why must we gauge our own success off another's suffering?
While we all subscribe to a hive through pervasive programming
We sacrifice our youth and our minds to ensure a bottom line
The paradigm locked in place
Must erode away again
Will you comply?

Assimilate, crawl through the hive
Fill a purpose, find a way to provide or
Rot in the streets as you fight to survive
Pay with your time, blood, body, or
Assimilate, crawl through the hive
Find a way to provide or
Rot in the streets as you fight to survive
You will pay with your life

In hubris we act as sovereign
But in haste we find our end
Rapacity indoctrinated
The truest trait of man
Avarice
Can't be contained
Avarice
Our only way
