Silent barbaric structures
Like coffins reaching for the sky
Abject human machinery
Subservient to the end
Every hour is death approaching
As we toil away in the mire
There's decay inside these crumbling walls
there is evil in these tombs

Through the eyes of the distant stars
We have failed and we will fail again

What are we if not the cause of the problem

Soul crushing reality
Can't see what's right in front of us
What are we if not the cause of the problem
What are we if not the rot beneath
Can't see what's right in front of us
We've got to fight the instinct
Got to fight ourselves
What are we if not the cause of the problem
What are we if not the rot beneath

Impervious to humanity's plight
Get under the grinding wheels
Break the bones of servitude
Lay to waste the opposition horde
Lead further down the mausoleum
With every stinking breath
Lead further down the mausoleum
With every stinking breath

Through the eyes of the distant stars
We have failed and we will fail again

What are we if not the cause of the problem
What are we if not the rot beneath
What are we if not the cause of the problem
Soul crushing reality
Can't see what's right in front of us
What are we if not the cause of the problem
What are we if not the rot beneath
Can't see what's right in front of us
We've got to fight the instinct
Got to fight ourselves
What are we if not the cause of the problem
What are we if not the rot beneath
