Guilty Lyrics
Never fear the truth, or a lie correctly used
When everything you do comes back three times to you
By any other name, the guilty still remain
Suspended in the feign, pawn to his own intentions
Still hidden in the fold The story bought and sold
Commodified indoctrinate expendables into the splendid lie.
Bound by the chain of lies you have wrapped around you
You are trapped in regression dying in the face of the truth
Stoic in silence we are blind inside the void
Ruins remind us of all we have destroyed
Dead rail no way back from here The mainline to nowhere
Still hidden in the fold The story bought and sold
Commodified indoctrinate expendables into the splendid lie.
You are just gluing your amber eyes shut
As the world keeps spinning around your cage
While you are waiting for the ghost to bite.
And that ghost will bite.
Still spinning in the veil Locked in beyond the pale Internalize and fabricate escapable
Into the deadly lie. Bound by the chain of lies
Filled with aggression, watch you die
In the face of the truth.
When everything you do comes back three times to you
By any other name, the guilty still remain
Suspended in the feign, pawn to his own intentions
Commodified indoctrinate expendables into the splendid lie.
You are trapped in regression dying in the face of the truth
Stoic in silence we are blind inside the void
Ruins remind us of all we have destroyed
Dead rail no way back from here The mainline to nowhere
Commodified indoctrinate expendables into the splendid lie.
You are just gluing your amber eyes shut
As the world keeps spinning around your cage
While you are waiting for the ghost to bite.
And that ghost will bite.
Into the deadly lie. Bound by the chain of lies
Filled with aggression, watch you die
In the face of the truth.

This song (in my opinion) is about what happens when you lie. Only if the lie is big enough, though. In saying, "commodified, indoctrinate expendables into the splendid lie," it is saying that expendables (soldiers most often) are manipulated into situations which don't even exist, and could or do die because of it. After that, people will give you a lot of trouble about it, "When everything you do comes back three times to you." Also, by saying, "Bound by the chain of lies you've wrapped around you," it says that once you have said/done something, you are bound to your word/actions. And "Waiting for the ghost to bite," means that you are waiting for the inevitable consequences of your stupid actions.
