The hearts of men have grown tired and weak |
|
Welcome to all forms of corruption |
|
Blind to all, but power, profit and gain |
|
And all of our earthly possessions |
|
We decorate, happily our tombs to be |
|
With the brilliant art of illusion |
|
Perpetuating the cycle |
|
All surface, no depth |
|
Without destitution there would be no sickening wealth |
|
The medication, the guilt |
|
The low self-esteem and the nervous sweat |
|
The sleeping troubles, the cancers |
|
The heart attacks, the early deaths |
|
The end of justice, the radiant fires |
|
The waste left behind in the all-cleansing flames |
|
The poisonous fumes from our own funeral pyre |
|
The pesticide that we inhale |
|
We feed the machines with our blood, our sweat |
|
The phantoms are here, I can hear them |
|
Gathered in flocks they watch over our steps |
|
Our intellect, it must not be awakened |
|
With their broken promises, your broken backs |
|
By the new world order oppressed |
|
All who question their methods |
|
All who question their reasons |
|
All who question their ethics |
|
Silenced by the crack of the whip of progress |
|
The medication, the guilt |
|
The low self-esteem and the nervous sweat |
|
The sleeping troubles, the cancers |
|
The heart attacks, the early deaths |
|
The end of justice, the radiant fires |
|
The waste left behind in the all-cleansing flames |
|
The poisonous fumes from our own funeral pyre |
|
The pesticide that we inhale |
|
All who question their methods |
|
All who question their reasons |
|
All who question their ethics |
|
Silenced by the crack of the whip of progress |
|
The medication, the guilt |
|
The low self-esteem and the nervous sweat |
|
The sleeping troubles, the cancers |
|
The heart attacks, the early deaths |
|
The end of justice, the radiant fires |
|
The waste left behind in the all-cleansing flames |
|
The poisonous fumes from our own funeral pyre |
|
The pesticide that we inhale x5 |
