middle-earth - E. Van Worser Lyrics

You are a fine example of a parasite without tact
A pure rendition of how our parents taught us not to act
You created an illusion with every toxic fib you spread
But lies are lies and soon you'll find that you've been left for dead

You'll just dry up as time goes on
A withering husk beneath the sun
Witnessing you tear us apart
A shifty empire built on sand

You let it get inside your head
They tore you down brick by brick
The walls caved in and you were left abandoned
You let it get inside your head
You're the hero and you were cast in the opening scene
Under your own scheme

And as the sun begins to sear
We will leave you here to rot
It's time to learn from your mistakes
You played the same moves over and over again
You treated everyone with such a distaste
Until it all flipped and you were the only one left on the stage

We were made slaves
So many years ago
Holding, binding
Segregated and desecrated to the point of no return
Civilisation's headed south, and now
You've only made it worse

You crossed the line for one last time
You came and you burned and you've only made it worse
You have made it impossible to live by your rules
You've only made it worse
The time has come to get up off your throne
How can you think that the poor won't suffer
Necessities will not come easily
You've only made it worse
