The Agonist
Jesters Rejoice Where Wise Men Weep
[Verse 1]
Astounded, I'm, by geniuses, surrounded
How does logic run so deep?
Before you get worked up, I'll just ignore you
Jesters rejoice where wise men weep

[Chorus]
Your ethics are ailing
Your delusion, irrefutable
Prepare the unveiling
I can't wait to, to show you the truth

[Verse 2]
Needless to say, never again
The parchment loses sight of wine
Women tend to herd together, the catalyst for night
Water, blood, gasoline: all the members of the clan
Discounts rampant, born again
When does the time come to an end?

[Verse 3]
Eating my way, paving our ways
Paying our dues, duty calls
Calling my name, mindless corpses, fields of casualties
War-time heroes, heroin addicts, stuck to another being
Speciesism is the most popular prejudice
[Bridge]
Tired of photos, pictures scream louder than words
Why is the quiet a silent riot of thought?

[Chorus]
Your ethics are ailing
Your delusion, irrefutable
Prepare the unveiling
I can't wait to, to show you the truth

[Verse 4]
I know where I came from, I remember the doves
Embellished in language, taxes and laws
Loving yourself is not loving provincial flaws
Ashamed of patriots, fields of shame
Hiding reflections, stealing fame
Pages of running ink, tattooed on broken skin
Hiding souls in cages filled with dying breeds
(Speciesism is the most popular prejudice)
Domestication creates extinction, housewives are endangered
(Speciesism is the most popular prejudice)
Beaten families scream louder than words
