Humanity peeled from our bones 
Deprived of integuments that make us real 
Shadows of flesh to maintain the system 
Our own blood splashes as we kneel 


So meticulously machined 
Into these obedient devices 
- Puppets, finetuned submissive drones 
Replicas of each other, clones 


We're dormant accumulations of flesh 
In a crimson filtered twilight 
Mute witnesses to the game 
Wrenches to keep the bolts of lies tight 


We're the fabric concealing the stains, 
The red tainted existence 
The gullibles to bless your sins away 
Rags to wipe your blooded trails 


We give in to the atrophy, 
To the twining of self-thought knowledge 
The purpose of the human mind reviled 
Everlasting ignorance realized 
The scarlet flood inundates our powerless thoughts 
Defenseless minds with lies overfed 


Every thought stained, defiled 
- Painted the color, the shade of electric red
