lyrics

Echoes of sorrow
Piercing through dust
Memories fade away
Lost, once men

A tyrant behind disguise
Deceives, drains the meek
In gold, reaps their souls

Promises, hope illusion
He plays and they dance
Melodies, symphony of lies
Despair for wealth grants

One more lie
Passive genocide
Leads the poor right into their graves
Silent crimes
Passive genocide
Corruption, infection
Spawned by greed

Sowing fields of mass graves, trenches
From seeds of misery
Spirits are used as currency
The tyrant’s toll

One more lie
Passive genocide
Leads the poor right into their graves
Silent crimes
Passive genocide
Corruption, infection
Spawned by greed

Passive genocide
Murdering with lies
From a tortured soul
Just another life
We sacrifice
In the name of control

Passive genocide
Suffocating cries
Death is just a toll
Just another life
Empty demise

None will survive!

Just another life!

Just another life!

The mask has shattered with his ideals
The Tyrant's fall

One more lie
Passive genocide
Leads the poor right into their graves
Silent crimes
Passive genocide
Corruption, infection
Spawned by greed
