Shackles - Battlecross

Awaken to a world filled of apathy

It’s feeding off itself the fear and self-pity

Now your fed lies as truth and still you do not see

The noose around your neck is your complacency

Slowly posioned by your food

Slowly trained by your own news

All that you’ve been lead to believe

Is just to keep you on your knees

You’re cling to your shackles

Like an addict clings to their disease

This is the fruit that’s been wrought

Bought and paid for by our silence and ignorance

Begging for scraps as they take everything

All that you’ve been lead to believe

Is just to keep you on your knees

You’re cling to your shackles

Like an addict clings to their disease

You’ve been consumed your fear

Trained to believe what your hear

Complacent while the ignorance breeds

Too afraid to get off of your knees and fight
