Infection Of the Times Lyrics

The doors are all locked
And the wolves surround
As blood soaks the streets
Of this begotten land
Where millions will clash, alone in despair
With nothing but spite for brother and man

The pews are all empty now
And the factories have closed their doors
The dead eat the walking wounded
And the battle flag is raised
For civil war... total war

Distress and ire
This infection breeds
With consequences dire
A malformed modernity

Devastation sweeps the homeland
How could we have let it come?
The sovereign's sacrifice their children
For a chaos-nation overrun

Distress and ire
This infection breeds
With consequences dire
A malformed modernity

Infected with avarice, life declines

The brokers of peace are trampled and bled
As leaders and masters, fled for their lives
Rising from ashes we challenge their laws
And embrace the life they've always denied
