lyrics

Stare into the eyes of the deceiver
Of mendacity - the contriver
Seemingly innocent, harmless and benevolent
Claiming to be trustworthy to a profound extent
Truthfully the sole incarnation of malevolence
Inauthentic, a contradiction personified

Look into the eyes of those you love, even they may not be like you suppose
Dishonest, just like those you despise and oppose
Look into the eyes of those around you, they are not what you suppose
Dishonest, with only hostility left to show

We have devolved

Intellectual discipline left out
Our own gain considered paramount
Ignoring what we will reap through what we sow, for we have devolved
Our reasoning - illogical, we are retrograde, hollow and superficial
Whitewashing belligerence with claiming it to impede everything we despise
Mocking the reality, for we depict the foremost role in their violent progressions

Inauthentic, a contradiction personified
Stare into the eyes of your neighbor
And at the reflecting image of a deceiver
Of all mendacity - the contriver
We have all become alike
Smearing our image with false benevolence
To hide our true nature of malevolence
We are unworthy of our existence
