Lifeblood

Time it waits for no man
Some days it feels like I'm out of
Time shared, missed and spent
These days wasted in the grind
YOU'RE A SLAVE
Give me something more in this life
YOU'RE A SLAVE
Give me something more to be now
The words mean nothing
No, they mean nothing
Without your blood
You're bleeding out
You get nothing
No, you get nothing
Without your blood
You're bleeding out

Slaves to
Slaves to a false construct
Wake up, wake up, wake up

Blind in this sad romance
We reap rewards that really bind
And instils that we subsist
These days wasted in the grind
We choose our masters
To satisfy their greed
We call them bastards
Yet they need us to succeed
We are the lifeblood
Still, we suckle from their teat
We choose our masters over destiny
Words mean nothing
No, they mean nothing
Without your blood
You're bleeding out
You get nothing
No, you get nothing
With your blood
You're bleeding out
We fool ourselves we're really free
We fool ourselves into thinking we're not slaves
YOU'RE A SLAVE
