Nocturne - Vortex lyrics

(Music and Lyrics by Chris Telkes)

(Chorus)

I see it happening now

Ethics fade and morals twisting

I see it happening now

Truth decayed and conscience burning

I don't think that was blood

Coursing through those fragile veins

It seems that conceit and hate

Are the only things that make it to the brain

Spit out by the heart

Pumping and hissing without control

The resulting product was cold and dead

Just another mutation at an animal freakshow

Spit out by the heart

Cast into the veins so cold

Put another knife to the throat

Of those laughing at me cause I don't have a soul

(Chorus)

Have you ever wondered why the god-freaks

Screaming at you beside the homeless on the street

Can never find the love

To give the down some food or a place to sleep

Spit out by the heart

These, the ones that just don't care

A man falls to his knees dying before you

And you walk right past like he's not even there

Raise your glass as the whole world suffers

Turn and laugh at the faceless others

Steal and kill and lose what's found

Murder is what makes the world go round

Murder is what makes the world go round
