For those who think they are brave
Because they've never been afraid
Who judge those enduring consequences
When they have always been saved

To all those ignorant fucks
Who've always suckled from the teat
I hope one day you'll meet your fate
Locking eyes with a wild beast

For those who think they have all the answers
Though they've never been tested
Who are defiant to the rules of the world
Though they've never had to face it themselves

To all those ignorant fucks
Who've always suckled from the teat
I hope one day you'll meet your fate
Locking eyes with a wild beast

[?] [1:37]
Fuck off

Not to be taken by your fellow man
Not to be taken by your own hand
Not having succumbed to disease
But having faced the wild beast
For after only one glance of the beast
In the blink of an eye
The young dawn that was once your life
Has suddenly turned into midnight
