Built To Kill

Nothing survives
Even the tallest mountain dies
& time stands still for no man
(For no man)

Living the lie
Black hands, ilourescent sky
These ladders rung is safe for no man
Built to kill
Built to kill
If it leaves you living
The dead inside will haunt you still

We all die with the hands of time
Wrapped around our throats
Corpses lie in their suits & ties
Destitute & broke

Don't fool yourself
Your safety net has you trapped
Your blood is in the water
Remember who you're working for

You've come a long way, baby
Just step into line
Keep pushing
More, more
You're gonna make it one of these days

Why are you so negative?
At least you're clocking in
& as the years tick by
Remember that you are working toward an end
The end!
Is that a pulse in your throat?
Alive, alive, alive
Do you need to speed it up to cope?
Alive, alive, alive

Built to kill
Built to kill
A definition of living
As being merely content
Is one with no hope

We all die with the hands of time
Wrapped around our throats
Corpses lie in their suits & ties
Destitute & broke
It's only a matter of time

Don't fool yourself
Your blood is in the water
Remember who you're working for
