"A Hopeless Fate" lyrics

I grit my teeth and watch this world get stabbed and lied to
If not me then who is who and where's the proof
I put my head in my hands wishing it would stop
But every day I'm led astray by the glow of a gas light

Erase files, hang the trials
Evaporate their tapes of rape
To hide their lies
Ignore their wars and their hands on your checkbook
Don't get smart if they fooled you
Just shut the fuck up and look down and think right
Stay in line

I'm just one man how long can I stand against this world
It crushes me
This hurt that's all around me
This rage that still surrounds me
How can one cope when there's no hope

No hope
Should I sever myself to save
My heart from a hopeless fate
Just seconds from slipping away
These lies that I just can't take
This place, this hate for a world that spits in our face
I sever and level myself

Powers that be inside me
Confined and blind
You wield the will to deceive
I will the strength to believe
In this world I walk in all alone
And these words I talk with carved in stone
I cannot be the one to doubt this
I am proven
In a place that simply rapes and takes
I am proven
Prove it to me
Fuck it
