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!
