lyrics

Seeding venom growing strong
Lies all told to string along
Falling in the name of gold
As we swallow what we’re sold
All of us are born to die
For a profit-making lie

There is poison in the well
There is malice to compel
Our world under the spell
There is poison in the well

The tally only grows,
We die from what we do not know
Pestilence and misery
Keep our people company
All of us are born to die
For a profit-making lie

There is poison in the well
There is malice to compel
Our world under the spell
There is poison in the well

If we are weak we will not fight
If we are sick we do not bite
So they keep us frail and faint
With invisible restraint

There is poison in the well
There is malice to compel
Our world under the spell
There is poison in the well

We do not ask, we do not think,
We do not look at what we drink
We trust the wolves to keep us sound
We miss the blood upon the ground
We do not ask, we do not think,
We do not look at what we drink
We trust the wolves to keep us sound
We miss the blood upon the ground
All of us are born to die
For a profit-making lie

There is poison in the well
There is malice to compel
Our world under the spell
There is poison in the well

There is poison in the well
There is malice to compel
Our world under the spell
There is poison in the well

Forcefully heavy riffs and a healthy dose of groove combine with soaring soprano vocals to create what Metal Bite calls “[P]ure metal magic." ... more
