Damnation

Damnation
Wake up
The house you built is burning down
Too bad
No sympathy
There are no handouts
The higher ups
Applauding first
They're smiling as
Their wallets grow
The more they laugh
The more it hurts
The world is still burning
Intended for domination
A curse written in stone
The flames are growing
We're heading down for damnation
I just don't see the point
The core is rotten spoilt
You're just a man, you're no Christ
Sleep now
The newspaper protects your pride
Look down
The headline reads
You're the punch line
They kicked you down
You turned the cheek
They fooled you once
While you were weak
The more they laugh
The more it hurts
Time to run away, time to run away, time to run
You're just a man, you're no Christ
A life in misery
For trusting them blindly
You thought they had your back
But really they got your soul
Hey, how do you sleep at night?
When even your wife hates you
What is the measure of a man?
Let's see if you've got guts
The more they laugh
The more it hurts
Time to run away, time to run away, time to run
You're just a man, you're no Christ.
