Chained, enslaved, and forced to cultivate
Virgin land to self sufficiency
No tools nor will for us to function with
Odds to live become a moral plight
An icy fate for those who flee this place
Guards intent to kill and to restore
Locked away from the whole world at large
Weakened souls, the first to be consumed
Muscles and skin from unsuspecting souls
Separated by the claws of many starving men
Those who aren't quite dead
Those that aren't alive are eaten by the savages in order to survive
Indulge, you must
Don't rest or risk your hide
The Isle of Flesh and Bone
Your life consumed
Arrangements not prepared
Led to this tragedy
Lower classes purged for the good of man?
The stepping stones they used
Ostracized then eaten whole
Order soon devolved
A reign of terror formed
They hunt us down
Through darkness, in darkness
We fear this winter and our fellow man
The guards control our fate
If nature doesn't win
They hear the pleading cries
Just to strike them down
The fragile grip of mind
With stomachs void of fare
Surrounded on all sides
A grim reality
One full year of anguish, pure anguish
We cling to our hope, our only grace
There must be someway out
It cannot end like this
The Isle of Flesh and Bone
A prison
Used with the intent to kill
You see your life will fade
Waters run red with blood
And corpses left to rot
A icy grave
A means of hate
Complacent with this scheme
The ruler deems success
With thousands left to ache
Their stories left in vain
By those who lived
And those who ate

In this crownless kingdom, you'll succumb
Urges stifled, justice left to warp
Unjust leaders working for themselves
People hopeless, breeding resentment
Take a long look at what you have done…
Precedents shattered by zealots' cabal!
Ivory towers won't keep us at bay!
We'll string you up like the God you obey!
You're stoking the pain
Infernos erupt
Call for resolve, it's too late to speak
Dogmatic bigots spew nothing but hate
Lapsing in reason
We suffer as one
False ideals birthed from null
Claw out their eyes, hunt them for sport
Waking the sadist breed
Supreme failure fueling divide
Kindred of yesteryear
Losing their grip on humanity's rise
The gushing of human blood
Staining their hands a crimson red
Cover the pages turned
Grasping at straws so you can control
Cursing the present day
Fascist lies commonplace
Sorrow with unity, we must dissent
Burning morality
Truly you'll never see
How much your bigotry will doom us all
Call it a movement
Maybe towards Judgement Day?
Every step we take completely undone
Opposing modernity
Cling to worn heritage
You only ascend through prejudiced ways
All for one means nothing in this age
One for all is law if you get your way
I fear you've lost your way (lost your way)
Overwhelmed by Intransigency
There is no prayer left to say (left to say)
Pinned down by conspiracy
Deface democracy (democracy)
And claim the game was rigged (game was rigged)
Live and die by your own sword
You've awoken this violent discord!

This wretched pain hiding underneath
It's tearing me apart
Ghastly throes that I've never endured
Seemingly abated by a miracle cure
A man of wealth with no cease of picks
A silver spoonful should do the trick
Surging energy, my strength regained
A gift from God with a human name
Day by day, I commence to gorge
Peak of health, my jaw's on the floor
If only I knew this tonic prescribed
Would emanate me beyond this life
Days turn to years, Bones turn to dust
Dissolving my being
Holes in my skull, Crevices form
Nuclear waste shoved in my face
Thousands consumed
Jaw is severed, now on the floor
Bedridden state, a parallel fate
I now endure
Essence of life, now essence of death
Chewing away, visceral decay
Health fades away
Destined to be medicinal prey
Disfigured beyond all repair
Fragments dislodging inside
Skeleton starting to break
When will I finally die?!
Pile of dust, I've become
My vessel is ruined and lost
People watch on in shock
They witness decay with their eyes
Gluttony turning to wrath
All of the pain I've caused
Hyperbolic potion
Self Deception made flesh
Radithorian Curse
Emitting for hundreds of years
Buried deep under the ground
Stuffed in a casket of lead
Lord, end me!
