Cover art for Crushed lyrics by Parkway Drive

I think this is one of the best songs in the album and one of its most ambitious records to date, this songs is kinda self explanatory, religion politics all taking from us instead of giving, zealots believing they will be saved when the world ends, and media giving us what the system wants (To the left I see the rats and to the right I see the snakes, In my ear they’re whispering sweet sermons of cruel hate So do you buy the fear, or do you buy the lies)

@mariano102 what are zealots?

@jonjonwinny a zealot is: a person who is fanatical and uncompromising in pursuit of their religious, political, or other ideals

@mariano102 thanks for clearing that up for me @sorkorny
