Fathomless Maw Lyrics
[Intro: John Kennedy]
Terror is not a new weapon
Throughout history it has been used by those who could not prevail…
But inevitably they fail
Either because men are not afraid to die
For a life worth living, or because the terrorists themselves
Came to realize that free men cannot be frightened by threats…
[Chorus]
All these secrets, subservience
Forbidden knowledge, hysteria
But there's something that is scarier
We're cattle to something much more superior
[Verse 1]
But go, but go, but go, but go, but go
But go continue the rat race
Shake my hand, spit in my face
Slit my throat and have a taste
I'm a number after all
Like animals with hierarchy
This whole thing is a mockery
Tell me, is this what it's supposed to be?
The universe is laughing
[Bridge]
Question the power that they have over you
Question the power that they have over you
Terror is not a new weapon
Throughout history it has been used by those who could not prevail…
But inevitably they fail
Either because men are not afraid to die
For a life worth living, or because the terrorists themselves
Came to realize that free men cannot be frightened by threats…
[Chorus]
All these secrets, subservience
Forbidden knowledge, hysteria
But there's something that is scarier
We're cattle to something much more superior
[Verse 1]
But go, but go, but go, but go, but go
But go continue the rat race
Shake my hand, spit in my face
Slit my throat and have a taste
I'm a number after all
Like animals with hierarchy
This whole thing is a mockery
Tell me, is this what it's supposed to be?
The universe is laughing
[Bridge]
Question the power that they have over you
Question the power that they have over you
[Chorus]
All these secrets, subservience
Forbidden knowledge, hysteria
But there's something that is scarier
We're cattle to something much more superior
All these secrets, subservience
Forbidden knowledge, hysteria
But there's something that is scarier
We're cattle to something much more superior
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
So what if we don't see eye to eye?
It seems we have no patience
In this world we can only fear
[Breakdown]
There's something to be seen
Cancerous deities (More killing)
All these secrets, subservience
Forbidden knowledge, hysteria
But there's something that is scarier
We're cattle to something much more superior
All these secrets, subservience
Forbidden knowledge, hysteria
But there's something that is scarier
We're cattle to something much more superior
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
So what if we don't see eye to eye?
It seems we have no patience
In this world we can only fear
[Breakdown]
There's something to be seen
Cancerous deities (More killing)

What did Chelsea Grin say about "Fathomless Maw"?
Genius Answer
Stephen Rutishauser:
This is more of a real-world type of song. It’s about subservience and us being cattle to some greater process but maintaining a facade of individuality or free will. The music video shows a guy who works 9-to-5, and he’s going insane living this repetitive, mundane cycle of life. It’s about living an unfulfilling life in service to some greater cause that doesn’t actually care that much about you, and the negative effect it can have on you over time. It’s encouraging people to serve themselves a little more.
