Sludgement Day from Magnum Grampus by Grampfather

The time has come for everyone
to come completely undone,
split limb from limb,
stripped from what’s written:
This hell we’re in.

Freed from the lies, from the ties
that bind us and blind us
and try to divide us
to snuff out the rising and rising of the tide
of their looming demise.

Take a deep breath, forget the presets.
What’s the condition of your conditioning?
It’s about time we rethink what we enshrine,
and what we reject, defected for our defects,
ordained by obsolete precepts.
Well, we don’t need that, we can see that
it’s just a ploy to destroy our feedback.

I don’t buy what they say
‘cause judgment day
happens every single fucking day.

Another city on a hill
slips into the landfill
where all suffer in the sludge,
king, pauper, jester, and judge.

Give it up, all you got,
let the prophets of profit rot
and watch the propped-up puppets drop
as the blood of the mud clots.

Choking on the ocean,
drowning in air,
reaping what they’ve sown:
This hell they’ve prepared.
Finally, the misery
shifts to those who need

an exorcism of egotism--
just let it die.
Take a look, it’s in your book--
you’ll pay for your pride,
If you believe just what you read
then it’s eye for an eye,
but if I’m blind then your blind
then who’s to decide
which way to go when no one knows
their way through the dark?
The words they feed us are just fodder to breed us
so we each do our part
to fan the flames of fear--
but we know the names
for whom Sludgement Day is here.

I feel a change of tide inside the minds
of those for whom the farce was designed.
Some stay a slave to the cave,
but we embrace the light face to face.
The world that raised you is fading,
your teachers all gone, common sense uncommon.
Unlearn the words blurred by the herd.
Rising from the ruins, a murmur is heard

Sludgement Day is coming soon.
The rising tide in full bloom.
Never-ending impending doom.
Sludgement Day will come for you.
