Burial Within

Obsessed with Suffering

Burial Within


Spill the blood and watch the fear of death in their eyes 
Systematic butchery, nothing survives 
Obsessed with Suffering and taking of lives 
Legitimized brutality, the innocent die 

Compassion has been compromised as 
we become desensitized 
To xploitation of the powerless 
Sadistically enabling a culture of violence 

Violence breeds violence in a neverending cycle of despair 
Acceptable cruelty fostered by the purposefully unaware 
If it can't be seen that means it isn't there 
The bloodshed continues unabated 
and tolerated in the name of tradition 
murder as an institution is still murder 
We justify the slaughter as a necessary evil 
but it's just evil 
Objectified as soulless and not deserving our mercy 
but could it be that we're the soulless beasts? 

Contempt for the defenceless and a lack of empathy 
Subconsciously devalues our perception of life 

Violence breeds violence in a neverending cycle of despair 
Acceptable cruelty fostered by the purposefully unaware 
If it can't be seen that means it isn't there 
The bloodshed continues unabated 
and their blood is on our hands
