Mass Hysteria Lyrics
One foot within the grave, your life has been enslaved
Your soul can not be saved, nor the penance that you gave
You put the fear on a grown man's face
You shake the ground with all that you create
You are a god amongst all mortal men
You are the reason that we're living in
This moral panic, mass hysteria
Cryptic verses won't ease your pain
Not even when you speak his name
From the depths, he will arise
It's the end it's your demise
You put the fear on a grown man's face
You shake the ground with all that you create
You are a god amongst all mortal men
You are the reason that we're living in
This moral panic, mass hysteria
When you dip into the well of souls is it cold unto the touch
It’s illusions from your life of lust
You see your life is fading fast it's turning into dust
The hands of time are what you fear so much
Your soul can not be saved, nor the penance that you gave
You put the fear on a grown man's face
You shake the ground with all that you create
You are a god amongst all mortal men
You are the reason that we're living in
This moral panic, mass hysteria
Not even when you speak his name
From the depths, he will arise
It's the end it's your demise
You put the fear on a grown man's face
You shake the ground with all that you create
You are a god amongst all mortal men
You are the reason that we're living in
This moral panic, mass hysteria
It’s illusions from your life of lust
You see your life is fading fast it's turning into dust
The hands of time are what you fear so much

This track seems to delve into the destructive power of one's actions, the fear it instills in others, as well as the personal consequences and existential dread faced when attempts at redemption or penance seem futile, and one is unable to save their soul. One such individual in the track possesses an overwhelming power or influence and is the reason for the world's current state. Their actions evoke fear in others and have far-reaching consequences, causing a state of moral panic and mass hysteria. In the end, not even a higher power in religion will help him avoid punishment for their actions.
