Opus Ferox - The Great Escape

Bound to this rigid frame Hollow sound of wind and rain Seasons change and so do I Conformity tries to hold me down I never wanted this Aligned with society All its mediocracy The forces of democracy Keep holding me down to the ground I do what I'm told Though thoughts will wander And self-doubt engulfs me from time to time I do what I'm told Though thoughts will wander And self-doubt engulfs me from time to time Vow to carry your voice and your vote Like a cherished possession Take down the walls of their ill-disposed Their so called elite You have to fit the mold Don't let yourself go Be a perfect slave, a prisoner The freedom paradox, perpetual machinery The dark veil of monetary demands Is eating at my soul, is eating at my soul Will this grip on me never let me be The creative unbound unchained, unbound unchained I do what I'm told Though thoughts will wander And self-doubt engulfs me from time to time I do what I'm told Though thoughts will wander Just get the fuck out and let me be me I never wanted this I never wanted this I never wanted this I never wanted this

Into the prison of life I'm denied A voice out of darkness entered somehow Followed by echoes the past in my mind An image of landscapes survived yet I'm blind Souls of the past through time Heading towards the dream once denied Scattered by war from another plain Enslaved by the flames embraced Driven by hunger towards the sun Aware of the past in vain Bleeding, freezing, utopian dreams destroyed Into another word, out of another lie Souls of the past through time Heading towards the dream once denied Out of the storm, we rise, never fall Into this war, we march Enter the resistance Rage from a distant horizon Fueling our temperament As we force our way through Irresistible walls of our fate Declutter the world From the unstable matter Clearing our paths towards the sun Where is your savior now, where is your savior now Souls of the past through time Heading towards the dream once denied Out of the storm, we rise, never fall Into this war, we march Enter the resistance

It started as a tremble Like a shiver down your spine I could feel it in my marrow In the hairs on the back of my neck As the masquerade collapsed And the blindfolds were untied And I called for your attention To rise against Cure for the disease Vaccinate against the papacy Rise! Fight! Never shut your mouth again Kill all fascists now Like a shit stain on democracy They lured the fools to vote For the papacy again Cure for the disease has come, so use it Rise! Revolution! We are the Che's against this clusterfuck Uncontrollable Untrollable Take over now Rise! Revolution! We are the Che's against this clusterfuck Can you feel it? The sense of being unstoppable Can you hear it? It's the roar of the oppressed Like the soaring voice of a distant cyclone It will hit them like an aluminum baseball bat Smashing their knees until it feels like hitting a wet sponge Cure for the disease Vaccinate against the papacy Rise! Fight! Rise! Revolution! We are the Che's against this clusterfuck Uncontrollable Untrollable Take over now Rise! Revolution! We are the Che's against this clusterfuck Cure for the disease The glorious clusterfuck It's the end of a magnificent beginning The glorious clusterfuck Wake up, it's time to die!

Here we go again my friend Start from page one now again Time to run, time to fall Loved ones lost and new ones found In the back room of my house Tried so hard to fill this void That no one sheltered now Disillusion You have reached destruction How confusing We are not the same Disillusion You have reached destruction How confusing We are not the same Pull me up or push me down Never let me go Two parasites in paradise Feeding each other Pull me up or push me down Never let me go Two parasites in paradise Feeding each other Half the man I used to be Now I need your help again I need your help again Tried so hard to fill this void That no one sheltered now Disillusion You have reached destruction How confusing We are not the same Disillusion You have reached destruction How confusing We are not the same Pull me up or push me down Never let me go Two parasites in paradise Feeding each other Pull me up or push me down Never let me go Two parasites in paradise Feeding each other Feed off me Feed off me Disillusion

The hours are passing like they're minutes now In this cold machine Time is a fluid acting on its own This life will soon be gone What do you leave behind your attic door The vault you call your own Was it all worth it to lose a love Over monetary ghosts Clad in victims clothes So miraculous this moment Lasted longer than you thought Lasted longer than you thought And the pressure pushing inward At your dehydrating heart At your dehydrating heart Washing your hands of your vengeful thoughts In this cold machine Sepsis spreads like wildfires now Polluting your mind Clad in victims clothes So miraculous this moment Lasted longer than you thought Lasted longer than you thought And the pressure pushing inward At your dehydrating heart At your dehydrating heart It's your drive, your ambitions That will make you strong And though it's buried deep within Just dig deeper So miraculous this moment Lasted longer than you thought Lasted longer than you thought And the pressure pushing inward At your dehydrating heart At your dehydrating heart So miraculous this moment Lasted longer than you thought Lasted longer than you thought

You look distressed, you look distraught You look like you've been beaten down, to the ground You look confused, like you've been used And thrown away, like a toy, like a toy I feel the need to make a claim, to make a point But you are deaf, deaf by choice Deaf and blind, this is how reality looks to me Take me down your final trail, make me feel again Then I figured everything was meant to be destroyed Open up your eyes cause here we are Show no mercy to life Show no mercy to life I'm out of breath, unchained by death I feel like I've been broken down, underground But deep inside, a soul divide and torn apart Fading heart, a fading heart Take me down your final trail, make me feel again Then I figured everything was meant to be destroyed Open up your eyes cause here we are In the distance lies the dreamer Broken down and torn apart In his silence there's a river Full of hope and fading hearts Times of old, godless invader, human harvest untold Gods of doom, fearless invader, soul divine, angels of death Show no mercy to life Show no mercy to life Take me down your final trail, make me feel again Then I figured everything was meant to be destroyed Open up your eyes cause here we are

As morning turns I plan my escapade Another escape into an unknown world My fellowship, and all of you who matter to me My family of fighters (listen to me) Here I stand shouting and screaming Telling you always to question this place Wondering how you got here bleeding Where you're from, where you're supposed to be Unknown address A blacked out identity No history, no one knows me Before we got the first shot The antidote for the brainwash Fresh start for all Here I stand shouting and screaming Telling you always to question this place Wondering how you got here bleeding Where you're from, where you're supposed to be As twilight turns to night Your former citizens escape To join the strife Here I stand shouting and screaming Telling you always to question this place Wondering how you got here bleeding Where you're from, where you're supposed to be Here I stand shouting and screaming Telling you always to question this place Where you're from, where you're supposed to be

Leave me be, leave me, leave me be Leave me be, leave me, leave me be How wonderful to witness the destruction The ending times arrived accordingly B.Y.O.B., it takes no further action Sit back, relax and watch the TV screen Leave me be You had your chance to cry, be sentimental There is no turning back from destiny Keep the motor running for the takeoff Make sure you lock the door before you leave Leave me be Within the secret lies the pathway to a door A hidden escape unfound Somewhere beyond the fairy tales That you've been told A natural passage The great escape I'm running low I write in code and speak in tongues and volumes The enigmatic world is our key Before the end of times arrive for real We have to help, erase the charlatans Belittlement is how they'll try to kill us To make our cause much harder to believe They have so much to lose and we've got nothing Except the everlasting will to live The great escape I'm running low The great escape I'm running low
