Forget not the actions of mine You're treading past my anger line Black blood overflow my veins I'll cut you To fill the void Carve you blind To set you free In this state of mind I'm a victim of false prosperity As detrimental as a human can be I am the violation I am your creation I'm drowning in a shallow grave For the greater good For the greater good My remorse counts for nothing I was always the enemy I'll cut you To fill the void To set you free Carve you blind You choose not to see You wore me down Repulsive beyond belief I rise to the challenge For a slate swept clean To reset this place Back to what it once was To set the record straight I rise to the challenge For the greater good For the greater good I'm drowning in a shallow grave For the greater good For the greater good My remorse counts for nothing I was always the enemy You'll wither into nothingness Gone and forgotten Dead as history The false prosperity Gone and forgotten I was always the enemy The enemy I am the violation
