Praise the world!
Praise the truth!
Sing for the coming victory.
Over who?
Well— you.
A soul bound by nature
To forever find decay.
Open your eyes and see:
Flesh melting into a gangrenous gray.
Folding in on itself while its vitality fades.
Stop for a second and that shall be you.
Move forward by devouring:
Inflame the senses,
Smell the smog,
Consume the chemicals,
Hijack your mind,
Rewire your nature.
Stop wasting time on pointless thoughts.
Silence your mind’s cry of painful prices,
Banish its ol’ fashion fears.
Enter the mind meld zeitgeist
Surrounded by terminal slop.
A brain swimming in toxic sludge
Will be your prize.
You will beat decay,
You will win more products,
More vices,
More addictions.
Sound the trumpets for the vanquished enemy,
Sing for the total victory.
