Is the world truly corrupt?


Title:

The Indentured Slaves of Society 

The Dark Angel of Corruption and Death 

Came smiling down like Old Nick

In black judges robes 
Shining bright

Like a burning fire in a cold night 

Leaving poisoned spears tipped with dollars and diamonds

In political halls and 
Vast institutions

In silence 

Waiting for new fools
To find them

Only to then appear with violence 

To pierce their side 

Like he on the cross
At Golgotha 
Who died

So they
Like pine needles 
In the wind

Blow and bow
To a new tune

For their forests will never be green

Their sunsets will all no longer gleam

For their new leader and host 

The Ghost 
Of Corruption and Death 

Has spread his wings 
So the newly corrupted must sing 

Victoria 
Victoria

Victoria a la corrupciĆ³n y la muerte

Victoria 
Victoria

Victoria a la corrupciĆ³n y la muerte

Victory 
Victory 

Victory to corruption and death

Victory to corruption and death

As they handcuffed by greed and power

No longer flower
