Thus The Beast Decapitated - Lock Up

Feed us with guilt to break our spirit

Poison the mind to deflect the blame

Perpetrate acts to annihilate reason

Detonate feelings to transplant their hate

Lavished with love?

To sedate reality

A life free of pain and hurt is a myth

Their bludgeoning quest for the truth relentless

Thus the beast is decapitated

Raped by memories long forgotten

Take what is said to manipulate

Summoned to crawl in the hour of despair

Punished and beaten, condemned we still care

Smiles mask an ulterior motive

We drink once more from the poisoned well

Apologies tumble like jewels from our lips

Thus the beast is decapitated

Thus the beast is decapitated

Thus the beast is decapitated

Smiles mask an ulterior motive

Thus the beast is decapitated

Apologies tumble like jewels from our lips

Thus the beast is decapitated
