Egomania

There are men of clay and men of steel Those who stand and those who kneel People that beg, others who steal Those numb inside and others that feel There ain’t no more innocence Just greed, darkness and sin Desolate and destitute A great void within What makes you tick? Make your switch flick? Damned siblings of evolution Empty shells devoid of soul What is your destination? Egomania is your final goal There are men of moderation and men of gluttony Those who enslave and those who set you free People that are blind, others who see Those who stay and others that flee There ain’t no more silence Just noise and screams Distorted reality Shattered dreams What drives you on? Angels or devil’s spawn? Damned siblings of evolution Empty shells devoid of soul What is your destination? Egomania is your final goal Insatiable greed A hunger you cannot feed Bloodletting your pain Will drive you insane.
