2. Barmecide Feast (4:55)
And now behold, a feast befitting famine, a decadent display
Of shameless arrogance and ignorance barely disguised as disdain.
What have we done to deserve such callous disregard?
Watching them grow fat upon our labour as we struggle not to starve.
Manna for the masses, perpetuates the lie,
With bread and circuses they keep us meek and pacified.
You must beware, the path of good intentions, it paves the road to Hell,
And those who claim to lead you will not pay the toll themselves.
How much of this can we endure?
Till we cannot swallow any more.
All that glitters is not golden,
And empty promises are easily broken.
Leading us into starvation,
Feeding us a liar's banquet until we choke.
Gnawing at the feeble scraps, falling from their table,
Forcing us to claw and scratch for every meager morsel.
Barmecide feast,
Belly of the beast.
Bite the hand that feeds you,
Before it bleeds you dry.
Bite the hand that feeds you before it bleeds you dry.
All that glitters is not golden,
And empty promises are easily broken.
Leading us into starvation,
Feeding us a liar's banquet until we choke.
Barmecide feast,
Belly of the beast.
Bite the hand that feeds you,
Before it bleeds you dry.
Barmecide feast,
Decadence deceives.
It's all an illusion,
There is no honour among thieves.
Of shameless arrogance and ignorance barely disguised as disdain.
What have we done to deserve such callous disregard?
Watching them grow fat upon our labour as we struggle not to starve.
Manna for the masses, perpetuates the lie,
With bread and circuses they keep us meek and pacified.
You must beware, the path of good intentions, it paves the road to Hell,
And those who claim to lead you will not pay the toll themselves.
How much of this can we endure?
Till we cannot swallow any more.
All that glitters is not golden,
And empty promises are easily broken.
Leading us into starvation,
Feeding us a liar's banquet until we choke.
Gnawing at the feeble scraps, falling from their table,
Forcing us to claw and scratch for every meager morsel.
Barmecide feast,
Belly of the beast.
Bite the hand that feeds you,
Before it bleeds you dry.
Bite the hand that feeds you before it bleeds you dry.
All that glitters is not golden,
And empty promises are easily broken.
Leading us into starvation,
Feeding us a liar's banquet until we choke.
Barmecide feast,
Belly of the beast.
Bite the hand that feeds you,
Before it bleeds you dry.
Barmecide feast,
Decadence deceives.
It's all an illusion,
There is no honour among thieves.
