Emotions inside us troubling,
The hatred inside us escalating,
The sickness inside us keeps us weak,
The masses inside of us suffering they are bleeding,
The calling inside us sick with greed,
The voices calling to us deafening we're not listening
Cannot receive the obvious
Line up cattle and cut the necks
Swat at the flies omit disgust
The leaders inside us posturing,
The pollution inside of us suffocating me,
The science inside us menacing
The will that's inside of us its dying end is coming
Cannot receive the obvious
Line up cattle and cut the necks
Drain us of life and cleanse the mess
Wash me off inside, wash me off inside
We're killing ourselves killers
Goddamn we fucked up the circumstance,
Too late to save us from ourselves,
Callous minds against trust and confidence,
Too late to give a damn now
Too late to save us from ourselves, too late to make it all go away,
Too late to beg pardons from the mother, too late to give a damn
Now we'll sit and wait
Wait wait for the coming. of the end
Wait for the coming the killing the ending the plight of man
Deserving no mercy expelling by god's hand,
It's okay the ending it's over no more pain .
Emotion the hatred the sickness the calling

I'd just like to state what a friggin masterpiece this song is. NE1 who plays guitar like me will know that the entire song is done on 1 VERY simple chord. Amazing how something so simple can be such a damn good song.
Just a story of exploration about ourselves and who we are.
In my opinion, this song is about depopulation and people living ignorant selfish lives. Thus they "cannot receive the obvious" truth...that most humans are cattle to the elite. Chad seems to harp on this comparison as well in the song, "Out to Pasture." Sad and scary because it is true.
@KeyToNoGein IMO you are the only person on here so far who understands what this song really represents. This theme is also explored in “The End of All Things to Come.” I think this song was/is representative of how the New World Order will lead to the full collapse of civilization. Also, that it’s inevitable because the masses “cannot receive the obvious.”

My perception of this song is a deep one. I sense a heavy anti-religious undertone; particularly of the Judeo-Christian variety. To me, this is Chad's perception of religious people where they don't perceive themselves as hateful, greedy (religious salvation is a selfish motive), illogical (relying solely on faith and not listening to anything logical), et al. Lining up cattle and cutting the necks gives me the image of the overwhelming majority of faithful people blindly following their belief all the way through death and gladly giving their lives for the sake of their belief. The whole first part of this song lines up perfectly with your typical Christian who feels like they suffer and are polluted inside because they believe they are a sinner, hypocritically judges non-believers, greedily and selfishly seeks salvation and all of greatness of a heaven, and believes that mass judgment and death is the will of their God.
The second half of the song (after "Wash me off inside" but before it repeats "Cannot receive the obvious") appears to be written from the perspective of someone (perhaps Chad) who willingly rejects the Christian faith. He's gone too far into finding personal truth to give a damn about faith and belief. "Callous minds against trust and confidence" seems to relay that point. "Too late to beg pardons from the mother" seems to speak about Mary, the mother of Jesus, who Catholics place more importance on than Jesus himself when asking forgiveness. "Now we'll sit and wait...for the coming of the end..." sounds a lot like waiting for the coming of Jesus where all "sinners" will be killed by God with no mercy.
Yes, this is an untrue horror story to Chad, but too many people actually believe this is going to happen... and seem to want it to, thus, "the sickness" he speaks of. "Drain us of life and cleanse the mess" is written from the perspective of a believer and could very well mean to drain believers of their life and cleanse the mess, or, remaining sinners. It could also mean for God to drain all humans of life and destroy the earth.
Whatever the meaning of this song, it's definitely not pro-religious.
It's just a scary story.
I see a bunch of space odyssey 2001 written in this song so i believe its about that movie and about how both Hale (the computer)felt

i've got to say that i disagree with the SO2k1 reference; the whole 'monolith' thing isn't about the movie, its about heralding a shift in human existence, consciousness etc etc. this expresses, i think, the same thing AEnima does, which is that the end of this world is coming, so to speak, and it will end all the bullshit, we hope. the mother here is earth, the rest should be pretty obvious, if you can receive it that is.
