Zanthrax - My Annihilation lyrics

In the first years of the 21st century a third world war broke out
Those of us who survived knew mankind could never survive a fourth
That our own volatile natures could simply no longer be risked
So we have created a new arm of the law - the Grammaton Cleric
Whose sole task it is to seek out and eradicate
The true source of man's inhumanity to man
His ability to feel

Are you playing with me, Cleric? [2x]

Prozium, the great nepenthe
Opiate of our masses, glue of our great society
Salve and salvation, it has delivered us from pathos
From sorrow, the deepest chasms of melancholy and hate
With it, we anesthetize grief, annihilate jealousy, obliterate rage
That those sister impulses towards joy, love, and elation
Are anesthetized in stride we accept as fair sacrifice
For we embrace the Prozium in its unifying fullness
And all that it has done to make us great

Are you playing with me, Cleric? [4x]
