lyrics

RITUAL

A secret society
Is meeting tonight
Full of wealthy and powerful men

And with gluttony so pure
They'll devour the poor
But the man must be stripped of his skin

In a ritual as old
As the worship of gold
Ceremonial consuming of flesh

But the blood-lust inside
Will not be satisfied
'Til they see a man beaten to death

Bring in the victim alive so we can watch him suffer
(Gather for the feast! Gather for the feast!)
We are the privileged elite, these are spoils of war
(Gather for the feast! Gather for the feast!)
The flesh of the poor holds the secret to unending power
(Gather for the feast! Gather for the feast!)
We're ravenous men and we'll always be hungry for more

Few men refuse
To be led in this room
For they don't have a clue what's in store

But when one man escapes
After learning his fate
He soon barricades every door

Then he liberates men
Who were penned up with him
And they cover the hallways in gas

And they burn those alive
Who are still trapped inside
Once were powerful are now powerless

Burn the oppressors alive so we can watch them suffer
(Canceling the feast! Canceling the feast!)
They are the ruling elite, we are prisoners of war
(Canceling the feast! Canceling the feast!)
Money is the only secret to unending power
(Canceling the feast! Canceling the feast!)
Greed is disease and will plague us until there's a cure

Flames start to rise as the walls topple down
Confusion and fear and men stripped of their crown
The flicker of fire reflects in their eyes
For arrogant men have been cut down to size
Ashes and smoke billow up towards the sky
Sending a signal off into the night
A warning to those who sit perched at the top
Vengeance will haunt you
Until you are finally stopped
