VERSE 1 (Initial G)
Dark tower
bow down to the higher power
where the dark priests
They congregated to devour
leaving their skin torched, scorched and scoured
still empowered
where all your happiness turns sour
where extra dimensional beings glower
as the clock strikes the twelfth hour
the menace that wilts the flower
leaving virgins deflowered
in the acid rain showers
where the cowards they towered
where the heroes they cowered
disposition dour
the monolith
the one with the columns split
call em filth
the scholars built
a monument for the fallen guilt
appalling lilt
coming from them swollen gills
disappear behind the rolling hills
hit em with the emboldened skills
trying to grasp the golden pills
the blood it spills
civilization’s ills
the hope it kills
crushing wills
settling for cheaper thrills
costing steeper bills
as the reaper steals what’s real

CHORUS
You ask me!
The whole world’s coming down around our heads
Who you push in the thresher to get your bread
For who’s fortune have you bled
Did they unravel your mind pull your thread
You ask me!
The whole world’s coming down around our heads
Who you push in the thresher to get your bread
For who’s fortune have you bled
Did they unravel your mind pull your thread

VERSE 2 (Mike Dynamo)
I’ve been careful with nothing
I think despair got me
I traveled the college route and felt the debt squash me
I can’t breathe
I can’t sleep
Even the money that I make
don’t really belong to me
All I wanted was to see
Was the view from the ivory tower
find a patch of sky to raise a family
I didn't make it
I couldn't even see it
Only the images of it flashing at me from my phone screen
The good life
Where the one percent sits with their gifts
and labels me a nuisance
Because I want what they get
Am I a hypocrite
or a devil worshipping capitalist
Sacrilegious
To speak ill of the money
The only god all of us respect
The same criminal that puts the knife on your neck
Is the same one that's signing your wage slave check.
The same one leave you screaming in crime alley
But now I’m ass out
Forced forever to do without
Stuck in a loop
Only one way to cash out
Take what I can til I burn out

CHORUS
You ask me!
The whole world’s coming down around our heads
Who you push in the thresher to get your bread
For who’s fortune have you bled
Did they unravel your mind pull your thread
You ask me!
The whole world’s coming down around our heads
Who you push in the thresher to get your bread
For who’s fortune have you bled
Did they unravel your mind pull your thread
You ask me!
