"Necessary Suffering" lyrics

Then without a whisper, the skies of the earth turned black

Cracks in the order appear, as the end time call resounds
All logic swept away, just so their profits can be made
Still their ships set sail, on plastic seas exhaled
And death fuels the dream, as children slave in sites unseen
Luxury exceeds, and above all, wealth decrees
"This land is yours to reap, and human life is always cheap"
Still their stocks will rise, as billions swarm immobilized with dread

Their behest, rights of men, arcane laws, dividends
Septic cults, cryptic tools, praise the palace fools
Sycophants, tow the line, speak in tongues, orphic rhymes
Black and red, bleeding cash, nothing here will ever last

And each and all must know their place
Nothing here to contemplate
Fear and death, dearth and rot
Few will have and many will have not

It's necessary suffering
From servitude to severity
This sacrifice and savagery
It's necessary suffering

Scorched earth, bread lines, Shenzhen suicides
Caustic, dead frost, insect holocaust
CO2, salted wounds, surplus opportune
Work drones, solar winds, the work of progress has no sense nor end

It's necessary suffering
From servitude to severity
This sacrifice and savagery
It's necessary suffering

All lives, disposable, like cattle for the abattoir
So it goes, ashes to embers all

Embers to ashes
It's necessary, so necessary
Suffering
