The future is scarred by the bloodstained past 
Haunted by disgrace 
Holy wars that are never ending 
Forever fight of faith 
Don't accuse these meaningless symbols 
Created by mankind 
Will they recognize their own creation? 
Can they be so blind? 

Fools manipulating all they see 
Cruel as the world can be 
Cries of pain as the tortured souls 
whither away into the dust 
Power is the fix 
And man is drawn to it 
The illness and the lies 
The virus never dies 

To captivate the minds of the masses 
Tell them what they want to hear 
And for those who will oppose you 
They will live in fear 
Domination your favorite sensation 
Operated by remote control 
In your hands are the lives of the helpless 
Their fate they'll never know 

Fools manipulating all they see 
Cruel as the world can be 
Cries of pain as the tortured souls 
Whither away into the dust 

Power is the fix 
And man is drawn to it 
No matter the cost of what's won or lost 
Addiction planted the seed 
That sprouted the tree of greed 
The illness and the lies 
The virus never dies 

Control your own destiny 
Get rid of insecurity 
There's little truth in what they say 
Don't let 'em steal your life away 

Power 
To this world brings death and destruction 
Leaving the earth in decay 
Money 
Breeds organized crime and corruption 
Who says that crime doesn't pay? 
Greed The green-seeking virus that spreads 
And manifests your selfish needs 
Spreading the addiction 
Man's own contradiction 
When it's themselves that they deceive
