Bai Lan
The 2nd Single From Chapter II: Destruction
Inspired By the Legendary Bioshock Franchise, in this installment, the underwater city of Rapture lays rotting and ruined years after the civil war that caused its downfall
As the Big Daddies and Little Sisters that remain continue their path of vengeful destruction, readying themselves to step through the dimensional tears they discovered in the bowels of the city, they find there is yet more to be done than initially anticipated...
The depths of their oppressors lies knew no bounds, forcably trapping them in a psychologically torturous loop through previous mentally conditioned fail-safes imposed upon them. In order to break them, move on to free themselves and finish their plan, they must now face those responsible for the cruelty they suffered and erase the lies that bound them to this rotting city under the depths
As they found, heavy lies the head of the guilty.

Lyrics:
Bai lan
Let it rot
Bai lan
Come walk with me into the dark
Bai lain
Let it rot
Let this broken system rot until it’s (dead and) gone
Bai lan
So we can finally move on
Don’t you see? This nightmares come to life again
As the liars cling to their worlds of pretend
They built this cage and took from us what made us human
To bear resemblance of the monsters they envisioned
If it’s not a dream then why can’t we wake up from this?
Coz of All their poisons keeping you in this necropolis
One man’s actions speak louder than their Empty words
And brings you back from the precipice they drove you to
All of those Empty little platitudes and ‘promises’
From empty selfish little tools
No morality just poisons to devolve the soul
There’s nothing left down here to lose
Bai lan
Let it rot
Bai lan
Come walk with me into the dark
Bai lain
Let it rot
Let this broken system rot until it’s (dead and) gone
Bai lan
So we can finally move on
There is no such thing as happiness here only lessened states of misery
From the hands of the fools and their enforced perceived authority
Forced down deep inside, this sordid mental maze they’d made
We already knew this’d push us ever closer to extinction
To dim the light inside of the souls they knew that they’d forsaken
Their Dependence on corrupting through the evolutional temptations
And The track marks line their flesh contorting/leaving bodies in a mutated mess
Twisted limbs from (all their) sins when humanity’s so forgotten
From All of those Empty little platitudes and ‘promises’
From empty selfish little tools
No morality just poisons to devolve the soul
There’s nothing left down here to lose
The weight of all these lies they forced upon us
And we erased them without a trace
Sunken to the deep
Heavy lies the head of the guilty
The sea won’t wash away their shame
Heavy lies the head of the guilty
