lyrics

time tells truth waits for no man
truth sells when hands are stained in blood
when the pigs are exposed by the filth that they lie in
seems souls have been framed in cross-hairs
skirt towards that line of faith & trust
when the meek make their way out we'll begin to bargain

I take the shape of no man, spit in the face of all mankind
our courtship with the gavel has lost its action
I claim this rock as my land, train native tongues to speak like mine
we trade peace of our minds for a certain destruction

hold onto dreams of old men
scrap contracts written once in blood
and the pigs still exposed by the filth that they lie in
have-nots seek compensation
cut by their shackles lined with rust
when the meek finally rise up there'll be no need to bargain

I claim this rock as my land, train native tongues to withstand
receipts of hopeless orders, silence of a forgotten culture
I take the shape of no man, spit in the face of all men
posture fraudulent omens, all in the name of one man
sent from high
I know you think you've earned it but I deserve all this
so lay down
resign
we trade peace of our minds for this certain destruction.
