A Predator's Portrait Lyrics

A lesson in democracy, I will never never be, A servant of a moral standard, a rebel soul
for the free, I scream and I burn, I deny what I've learned, Can't fight what's inside, on
this blasphemous ride, Here I stand!

Chorus
Cause he will remain, will remain the same, he's a part of the game, and he will remain

As i cry for more, The angels burn their core, Let the evil saints have their way, When I'm
heading for oblivion, Acheiving my goals in every way, In malicious ways I hail the insane,
Nevertheless my broken promises, I scream and I burn, I deny what i've learned, Can't fight
what's inside, on this blasphemous ride, Here i fall!

Chorus

Now, take a look at the predator's portrait
Cause these walls are closing in!

Now, take a look at the predator's portrait
Cause these walls come tumbling down

Come watch me bleed one more time! No substitute left to find! All that I hear is what I
preach! A mighty soul is what i keep!

I step on the face who's dragging me down, Fed up with the precious talk, Like a sinner
revealing himself again, Now he's down and out, and ready to strike, he's ready to strike,
he's ready to strike, to clear his very inside

Chorus

I think that this song is about criminals and how they will always remain no matter how much the government tries to get rid of them.

Sounds like a good description to me.
