[Verse 1]
Paralyzing elixir of contempt
Overriding sobriety's attempt
A narcissism
We so eagerly embrace
Smile as we assemble
The machines of our disgrace

[Chorus]
Submission
Without a fight
Corrosion
Mind parasite

[Verse 2]
Metastasizing
In such a willing host
The real disease
Has been misdiagnosed
Dehumanizing
And difficult to face
We've built our own destruction
The machines of our disgrace

[Pre-Chorus]
"The people surrendered their liberties and threw away thеir human dignity"
[Chorus]
Submission
Without a fight
Corrosion
Mind parasite

[Bridge]
"You arrive herе at a critical moment."
"Galaxy M12, year 2116"
"I've heard you're rather famous on Earth."
- "Well, I'd say, my fame has reached the stars!"
- "Then let me give you a bit of advice. Here among the stars it is better not to be quite so cocky."

[Chorus]
Submission
Without a fight
Corrosion
Mind parasite
Mind parasite

[Bridge]
"Government of the people, by the people, for the people"

[Chorus]
Submission
Without a fight ("by the people, for the people")
Corrosion
Mind parasite ("by the people, for the people")
"Shall not perish from the Earth"
"They gave up their lives as individual human beings"
Submission
Corrosion
Mind parasite
[Outro]
"Let me give you a bit of advice."
