Dedication is the price you pay Initiated are coddled and caged Before you walk, as soon as you crawl Hope is pointless when you're stuck in the trawl Fuck the freshman lectures and blandishments 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 Lonely 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 fate of failure makes it all clear The lonely 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 damnation, submission complete Dying on your feet, submission complete A total defeat
