Obsessed with suffering

Spill the blood and watch the fear of death in their eyes
Systematic butchery, nothing survives
Obsessed with Suffering and taking of lives
Legitimized brutality, the innocent die

Compassion has been compromised as
we become desensitized
To xploitation of the powerless
Sadistically enabling a culture of violence

Violence breeds violence in a neverending cycle of despair
Acceptable cruelty fostered by the purposefully unaware
If it can't be seen that means it isn't there
The bloodshed continues unabated
and tolerated in the name of tradition
murder as an institution is still murder
We justify the slaughter as a necessary evil
but it's just evil
Objectified as soulless and not deserving our mercy
but could it be that we're the soulless beasts?

Contempt for the defenceless and a lack of empathy
Subconsciously devalues our perception of life

Violence breeds violence in a neverending cycle of despair
Acceptable cruelty fostered by the purposefully unaware
If it can't be seen that means it isn't there
The bloodshed continues unabated
and their blood is on our hands
