Dedication is the price you pay: the initiated are

Coddled and caged

Before you walk, as soon as you crawl

Hope is pointless 'cuz you're stuck in the trawl



Fuck the freshman lectures and brandishments

They just betray impoverished accomplishments

The puppet masters fear originality

They tighten up the tethers and they shackle your feet

Submission complete!



Young recruits never have a chance, enticed to 

The drill, admonished to dance

Early to rise and early to shine, life is long but the end is nigh



Break the guilty trammels from yesteryear

Remember how rejuvenation conquers all fears

Lowly opportunists take commanding roles

And hawk ultimatums so their weakness won't show



The sad reflection of dead ambition

You live for nothing 

Submission complete!



Yeah, break the guilty trammels from yesteryear

Remember how the taste of failure makes it all clear

The lowly opportunists take commanding roles

And hawk ultimatums so their weakness won't show



The sad reflection of dead ambition

You live for nothing



Expectation, indoctrination

Life's a damnation

Submission complete!



Dying on your feet

Submission complete

A total defeat
