Regress in the Downturn Lyrics

Pushing to the point, beyond return. We can never wind back
Holding on to splinters of rights, when we have no choice
Sentenced to a death, untold, followed down the path
Inherit this hellscape, waiting for it all to fucking die

Pulling back the reins there's no slowing down
life bereft of freedom
Who controls whose body?
Regressing in the downturn

Laws built on temples, ring hollow, in the shadows of man
Dealing in a realm of absolutes in a world corrupted
The day will come when your glass house shatters
Desperation drags you down, from your need to control

Force feed the lie
Hung by your ancient book's dogma
Church and state neither give us reason
When freedoms torn apart
Truth reveals in light what must stand
And what must fall from graces
Pulling back the reins
Seek out the strawman
And burn it down
