Society Erased
Cataclysmic efforts put forth to destroy society
Like a rehabilitated man at the peak of his sobriety
Propriety erased from the standard way of life
Prolific conversations causing pain and strife
Like sacrificial murders, there's a pattern in the system
Set out to destroy our economiesnatural rhythm
Driven forces sent forth to wipe us out
Like a slaughter to the lamb, causing fear and doubt
Dubious explanations as to why this motion's made
To drain our souls of all comfort like an empty glass of lemonade
Just like a game of spades, it only seems we can follow suit
But pay close enough attention, we can throw them off and raise dispute
We can cripple their defenses as our freedom is embraced
We must work to keep life going before society's erased
