Enter the nightmare, this future does implore Hijack your city state, a prison, nothing more Rounded up like cattle, you’re forced in to the trains Nothing that you’ve ever known will bring you so much pain If you try to resist me you’ll find me inhumane But if you just submit you’ll live your life a slave Your love, your servitude will medicate your pain With our technology, we’ll always keep you safe Micro-chipped by darts, their thoughts are not their own All that’s left of human kind is now in their control Planned out through centuries, patient and contrived Prey on man’s naivety, gullible and blind If you try to resist me you’ll find me inhumane But if you just submit you’ll live your life a slave Your love, your servitude will medicate your pain With our technology, we’ll always keep you safe The nightmare unfolds before my eyes I will resist ‘til the end of time A spirit born free has to break these chains We’re lost, we must find our way... We must find our way... We’ll find our way They say that you’re a danger to everything that’s pure There are too many of you, they’re offering the cure Swift extermination if you refuse the game Arrested development, your vaccinated fate If you try to resist me you’ll find me inhumane But if you just submit you’ll live your life a slave Your love, your servitude will medicate your pain With our technology, we’ll always keep you safe The nightmare unfolds before my eyes I will resist ‘til the end of time A spirit born free has to break these chains We’re lost, we must find our way The nightmare unfolds before my eyes I will resist ‘til the end of time A spirit born free has to break these chains We’re lost, we must find our way... We must find our way... We’ll find our way

I sit alone and watch hypocrisy (I will fight!) My frustration ever building (Tensions rise!) The air runs thick with hostility (Asking why!) My thought are boiling and I’m full rage I’m at the end Patience run thin I think I’ll lose my mind Taking no more Your death I swore They will not break my will! I’ll make this your darkest hour (Hate will rise!) My force will devastate your power (Hear them cry!) I vowed to cure my aggravation (Your demise!) I’m coming forth to bring a world of pain I’m at the end Patience run thin I think I’ll lose my mind Taking no more Your death I swore They will not break my will Satisfied eradication (Deed is done!) Your spirit’s dead and finally mine (Now you’re gone!) My sanity a fixed condition (Not your pawn!) Vindication written in your blood I’m at the end Patience run thin I think I’ll lose my mind Taking no more Your death I swore They will not break my will Boiling point! Boiling point! Boiling point!

The wind’s crying softly Tears stream down her precious cheeks The last goodbye to those she loves Before the final sleep The pain is just too much She can’t even face another day Oh, the past, it haunts her The scars won’t fade away The tragedy still haunts her The pain she cannot bear She wants to smile, she wants to live Free from a life of despair The tragedy still haunts her The pain she cannot bear She wants to laugh, she wants so love Free from a life of despair A life of pain and anguish An empty shell yearns to be free To break out from this prison Of flesh and blood, she leaves Just one more shot of whiskey To chase the pills that help her sleep Now she’s one step closer Her quest for inner peace The tragedy still haunts her The pain she cannot bear She wants to smile, she wants to live Free from a life of despair The tragedy still haunts her The pain she cannot bear She wants to laugh, she wants so love Free from a life of despair The figure stands above her Upon her lifeless chest he beats He draws the soul back to her She now begins to breathe Awakened from this nightmare Her body shivers and it shakes She’s forged a new perspective The scars begin to fade The tragedy still haunts her The pain she cannot bear She wants to smile, she wants to live Free from a life of despair The tragedy still haunts her The pain she cannot bear She wants to laugh, she wants so love Free from a life of despair

His mind is worn and so tortured Suffering was part of the plan Blades flying swift with justice Remember the idea, not the man Rising up from the fire Unified to be free Stoking our fears with their lies You are the key Sedated they kept us all dormant Unknowing, our lives lived in vain Like mindless drones we’re devoted We’ve welcomed our fate as their slaves Prepare for victory Our minds have been awakened Rid your life of tyranny We are the resistance (No fear) Stand tall (Resist) Tyranny falls (No lives) No war (Resist) Victory calls Rising up from the fire Unified to be free Stoking our fears with their lies You are the key In the end we were coiled with the serpent It took all we had to break free Our victory, it came without violence We vanquished, they fell to their knees Prepare for victory Our minds have been awakened Rid your life of tyranny We are the resistance (No fear) Stand tall (Resist) Tyranny falls (No lives) No war (Resist) Victory calls Victory calls Tyranny falls!

This place is dark and grey Uneasy, I feel torn apart My mind is clouded and blurred This cry is interchanging Sacrifice memories past Unaware of what I’ve become... Constant changes are imploring me Search my mind, look for the answers Finding nothing but this fear in me Immersing myself in this feeling Realizing I am not alone They are watching people changing Unconsciously twisting memory Gathering our human feeling Experimenting, to understand the human soul Endangered they’ll fade away The won’t deceive me They’ll never take my soul away Their life from fades Fill our heads with false identity Synchronizing our confusion Using the dead for their own need Parasitic infestation Imprisonment in celestial space Unlocking the human life force Escaping their grasp now we are free Their objective failed unknowing Experimenting, to understand the human soul Endangered they’ll fade away The won’t deceive me They’ll never take my soul away Their life from fades Experimenting, to understand the human soul Endangered they’ll fade away The won’t deceive me They’ll never take my soul away Their life from fades Oh...

Inject and suppress the human feeling Love, hate, and sorrow lead us to eradication Mankind survives, to see another lifetime What is the final price our people will be paying? Our lives so colorless and ruled with false devotion Destroying anything that triggers our emotion The enemy is one who feels the world around them Interrogated, now they’re facing their own judgment Destroying our stimuli Force us to defy all that is human The serum keeps us pacified Stand to feel alive Our instinct will take over Annihilation of our feelings Emancipation, our minds healing Determination defines existence Eradicate with our resistance! If people awake they’ll be free from this daydream Human instinct will break through and keep us feeling We will not medicate, their grasp will surely crumble Take back humanity and devastate their power Destroying our stimuli Force us to defy all that is human The serum keeps us pacified Stand to feel alive Our instinct will take over Destroying our stimuli Force us to defy all that is human The serum keeps us pacified Stand to feel alive Our instinct will take over

Through the essence of your smile Makes this fight all worthwhile Oh, the perseverance of your life There you were, by my side Giving me strength through your love and pride She says carry on, carry on Oh, the stars, they shine so bright Are they there for you and I? I know you see the light! Carry on, be strong my son This is the end of innocence Carry on, when I’m gone This is the end of innocence This is the end, my friend Sacrifice is all we have Finding solace in your laugh The freedom will ease your pain Washing tides and season change Things will never be the same Oh, she says carry on, carry on!

The Earth has suffered overpopulation All our rations have been dominated We look to them for answers to our hunger Food made from you and I Increasing their supply The land is stripped and so barren Our people must take a stand Luxuries passed are now savored We can’t even live off the land Corruption eating us alive Our guts are filled with their lies Humans controlled and in turmoil Defy and you’re taken away The secret is kept from the people Their lives are left to decay In line, denied, they’ve had enough No food, no work, they must rise up Their greed has left us all for dead We are so unaware They encourage suicide The truth we must unveil One man will come to expose them He’ll be a thorn in their side Danger around every corner The order must defied Descend upon their wicked rule People need to know they’re fooled Nourishment made in a compound Sustenance from you and I Taken and processed to feed them Death will increase their supply Swallow their lies you satisfy Accept your fate before you die Their greed has left us all for dead We are so unaware They encourage suicide The truth we must unveil We need to stop them some way, somehow The truth was hidden from the people until know Your final moments are so serene It’s humans that they’re eating It’s Soylent Green

Oh I know your lost and trying to find your way You have been betrayed led astray Anger stirs inside and is tearing you apart Beating from this cold and broken heart You are strong You will stand and fight this emptiness and pain Cast away your suffering, seize the day Fire – extinguish the flames that haunt your mind Take control of your life You are strong, in your soul Overcome the trials and tribulations Live your life, take control You have broken through the threshold You have won, oh the battle deep within your soul is done Troubles washed away, a brand new day Focused you have overcome the challenges of life You are the life you will survive! You are so, in your soul Overcome the trials and tribulations Live your life, take control You have broken through the threshold

Here we stand – I know it’s always been our home We’re awakened from our prison A new day, it’s finally here We walk the streets without fear Our humanity has risen Digging out those microchips that kept us dormant to resist Singing songs of our triumph To maintain our current state we must try to elevate Our minds and our future We lived through their lies Now we’ll always keep a conscious mind And we hold our heads up high We will never let our spirit die The brave new world, you know it’s always been a lie Pushed with their manipulation Cast away the unseen chains They shackle you a slave Take control of your existence Flushing out their poison ways, live to fight another day The time is now to start living We’ve taken back our dignity, we are alive and we are free A revolution of our spirit We lived through their lies Now we’ll always keep a conscious mind And we hold our heads up high We will never let our spirit die Time is on our side, we have prevailed Humanity’s ultimate struggle Hearts and minds are joined in victory We are triumphant end eternal Time is on our side, we have prevailed Humanity’s ultimate struggle Hearts and minds are joined in victory We are triumphant end eternal Here we stand – I know it’s always been our home We can build a brand new future A new day, it’s finally here We live our lives without fear Our humanity has risen The task at hand to educate, so we don’t make the same mistake Never take the road to serfdom We are aware, we are awake – dystopia we did escape Never to repeat the nightmare We lived through their lies Now we’ll always keep a conscious mind And we hold our heads up high We will never let our spirit die Time is on our side, we have prevailed Humanity’s ultimate struggle Hearts and minds are joined in victory We are triumphant end eternal Time is on our side, we have prevailed Humanity’s ultimate struggle Hearts and minds are joined in victory We are triumphant end eternal Time is on our side, we have prevailed Humanity’s ultimate struggle Hearts and minds are joined in victory We are triumphant end eternal Time is on our side, we have prevailed Humanity’s ultimate struggle Hearts and minds are joined in victory We are triumphant end eternal
