[Misery Index - Necessary Suffering lyrics]
Then without a whisper
The skies of the earth turned black
Cracks in the order appear
As the end time call resounds
All logic swept away
Just so their profit's can be made
Still their ships set sail
On plastic seas exhaled
And death fuels the dream
As children slave in sites unseen
Luxury exceeds, and above all, wealth decrees
"This land is yours to reap
And human life is always cheap"
Still their stocks will rise
As billions swarm immobilized with dread
Their behest, rights of men, arcane laws
Dividends
Septic cults, cryptic tools
Praise the palace fools
Sycophants, tow the line, speak in tongues
Orphic rhymes
Black and red, bleeding cash
Nothing here will ever last
And each and all must know their place
Nothing here to contemplate
Fear and death, dearth and rot
Few will have and many will have not
It's necessary suffering
From servitude to severity
This sacrifice and savagery
It's necessary suffering
Scorched earth, bread lines
Shenzhen suicides
Caustic, dead frost, insect holocaust
CO2, salted wounds, surplus opportune
Work drones, solar winds
The work of progress has no sense nor end
It's necessary suffering
From servitude to severity
This sacrifice and savagery
It's necessary suffering
All lives, disposable
Like cattle for the abattoir
So it goes, ashes to embers all
Embers to ashes
It's necessary, so necessary
Suffering
The skies of the earth turned black
Cracks in the order appear
As the end time call resounds
All logic swept away
Just so their profit's can be made
Still their ships set sail
On plastic seas exhaled
And death fuels the dream
As children slave in sites unseen
Luxury exceeds, and above all, wealth decrees
"This land is yours to reap
And human life is always cheap"
Still their stocks will rise
As billions swarm immobilized with dread
Their behest, rights of men, arcane laws
Dividends
Septic cults, cryptic tools
Praise the palace fools
Sycophants, tow the line, speak in tongues
Orphic rhymes
Black and red, bleeding cash
Nothing here will ever last
And each and all must know their place
Nothing here to contemplate
Fear and death, dearth and rot
Few will have and many will have not
It's necessary suffering
From servitude to severity
This sacrifice and savagery
It's necessary suffering
Scorched earth, bread lines
Shenzhen suicides
Caustic, dead frost, insect holocaust
CO2, salted wounds, surplus opportune
Work drones, solar winds
The work of progress has no sense nor end
It's necessary suffering
From servitude to severity
This sacrifice and savagery
It's necessary suffering
All lives, disposable
Like cattle for the abattoir
So it goes, ashes to embers all
Embers to ashes
It's necessary, so necessary
Suffering
