lyrics

The chains rattle with the rhythmic steps of slaves
The manacles tight, there is no possibility of escape
There is no opposition against Abdiel the hidden
The continuous shuffle is the death rattle of the human race

Strive and toil for her pleasure
Your strain and agony are her delight
Work your bodies until they break
And know in your mind you are never good enough

Blood and broken bones are the price you pay to live
No other reward than to build up Babylon
A lifelong enslavement from cradle to grave
The laughter of your mistress echo in the dark

So convincing is the method to push you forward
You want to work to death, you want to be worthy
Follow the leader off the cliffs into the fire
Never questioning the path as your skin begins to burn

Strive and toil for her pleasure
Your strain and agony are her delight
Work your bodies until they break
And know in your mind you are never good enough
