The Rotting Year
Eaten from the inside out, poisoned by despair
Swallowed in misfortune, drowning in thin air
Led by intention, we failed our duty
Progress has been erased, back to 1963
Damned by a coax, we've disgraced our promise
Stripped of our humble, ridiculed, suppressed
Mortified by difference
Disheaertened by stress
Humans are being nullified, exterminate this mess!
Through doing all the "great things",
Evolvement is rejected
Torment comes to play, and the less are unprotected
Every strive to rejoin the system,
Ravages the unwanted
Power may brainwash the impressionable,
And leave the rest in injustice
