Tekst piosenki:
Asylums with doors open wide
Where people could pay to see inside
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says I still exist
This is the way, step inside
In arenas he kills for a prize
Wins a minute to add to his life
But the sickness is drowned by cries for more
Pray to God, make it quick - watch him fall
This is the way, step inside
You'll see the horrors of a faraway place
Meet the architects of law face to face
See mass murder on a scale you've never seen
And all the ones who try hard to succeed
This is the way, step inside
And I picked on the whims of a thousand more
Still pursuing the path that's been buried for years
All the dead wood from jungles and cities on fire,
Can't replace or relate, can't release or repair.
Take my hand, and I'll show you what was and will be
Asylums with doors open wide
Where people could pay to see inside
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says I still exist
This is the way, step inside
In arenas he kills for a prize
Wins a minute to add to his life
But the sickness is drowned by cries for more
Pray to God, make it quick - watch him fall
This is the way, step inside
You'll see the horrors of a faraway place
Meet the architects of law face to face
See mass murder on a scale you've never seen
And all the ones who try hard to succeed
This is the way, step inside
And I picked on the whims of a thousand more
Still pursuing the path that's been buried for years
All the dead wood from jungles and cities on fire,
Can't replace or relate, can't release or repair.
Take my hand, and I'll show you what was and will be
