Did We Ask For Truth

DID OUR DARK INTENTION FACE THE LIGHT 
DID WE PRAY FOR SILENCE FROM THE VIOLENCE WE INCITE
DID THE NEWS DEFEAT US
DID OUR MORTAL SOULS IMPEDE 
THIS APPETITE

DID WE FORCE CONVICTIONS TO COLLIDE
DOES THE DISSONANCE DRIVE US TO REMAIN PREOCCUPIED
WHEN THE PAINFUL WORDS UNWIND
BANE OF SHUTTERED MIND
CAST ASIDE
 
DID WE ASK FOR TRUTH AND SETTLE FOR LIES
DID WE BASK IN THE LIGHT THAT BLINDS OUR EYES
SHUT DOWN TEARS AND WE SANG THE RHYME

DID WE FEAST ON FILTH AND CALL IT DIVINE
TOOK THE POISON PILL AS WE SAVOURED THE WINE
DROWNED OUR FEARS IN THE RIVER OF TIME

WHEN THE PROPHETS FALL AND RUMOURS RISE
WHO FEEDS THIS MADNESS 
WHEN THE TRUTH MUST TERRORIZE
OVERSTIMULATION
RE-FILTERING INFORMATION
SANITIZE

DID A FOOL'S EMOTIONS UNDERMINE
VESTIGIAL SHAME AND PASSIONS, FAITHLESS WE ENSHRINE
TO THE WITLESS RAVING OF A BEAST FOREVER CRAVING
WE RESIGN

DID WE ASK FOR TRUTH AND SETTLE FOR LIES
DID WE BASK IN THE LIGHT THAT BLINDS OUR EYES
SHUT DOWN TEARS AND WE SANG THE RHYME

DID WE FEAST ON FILTH AND CALL IT DIVINE
TOOK THE POISON PILL AS WE SAVOURED THE WINE
DROWNED OUR FEARS IN THE RIVER OF TIME
