Momentum

from Inertia by Mercury Killed Newton

lyrics

You can’t protect yourself

I, will hold my head above this corporate flood
The masses held down by greed
The emptiness of always wanting more
Condemning us to always live in need

Consuming all but failing to be content
A condition beyond belief
A system rotting from the inside out
Dying to be put out of its misery

False idols are as hollow as their name
A face to a corrupt regime
Followed by the blind
But I refuse to follow their lead

I stand firm
The only constant in this ever changing world
I am immovable
Defiant in the face of your momentum

I will rise
When all others are forced onto their knees
I will rise
When all others are forced
Forced to their fucking knees

I refuse to be
Another sheep lead to your slaughter
I refuse to be
Another sheep lead to your slaughter
I refuse to be
A statistic in your scheme
I refuse to be
Another cog in the machine

You can’t protect
You can’t protect
You can’t protect yourself

You can’t protect yourself
You can’t fucking save yourself

I will hold my head above this corporate flood
The masses held down by greed
The emptiness of always wanting more
Much more than they could ever need

Consuming all but failing to be content
This condition defies belief
A system rotting from the inside out
Dying to be put out of its misery

False idols are as hollow as their name
Faces to the fucking machine
Formed by the strong
But upheld by the weak

And like all empires before
They inevitably reach their end
We as a judge
The masses cry out

Your time has come
Repent or revenge
