The shadowed wasteland of indemnity
Puffs the impure breaths of humanity
Ankles chained in the unsighted procession
As the eye of control is claimed as possession

Shackled in a room of censored walls
The foaming mouth bleeds ganda falls
Sacrificing the lambs of indigence
In the name of the capitalist power alliance

The cancerous escape raises a deceptive coat
On foot across razor wire clenched by the throat
As the furnace of power radiates
The glaring chide regenerates

Lambs on the battlefield for their birthright
Stagger over the same line that fell so tight
Ransom held for the philosophy of the womb
Its penitentiary in the imperial tomb

A rebel with no cause
Is a rebel of no threat
Just as a martyr unseen
Is a martyr of no effect

Those who control the present now
Control the future now
Yeah those who control the present now
Control our future now
**** those who control the present now
They won't control my future now

"A rebel with no cause

Just as a martyr unseen
