The Illusion of Democracy

I won't let you keep killing off my prophets I'll do all I can to stop you, to bring an end The deceit will face defeat Together we can end their reign The deceit will face defeat Together we can end their reign Born in blood! Forces that be! Brought to their knees! (There's nowhere to run) The time is now! (They know they're the ones) To redound History is repeating They must explain the bleeding On our ignorance they're feeding We can't let history repeat History is repeating They must explain the bleeding On our ignorance they're feeding We can't let history repeat We must not be afraid But we must be aware for all to rise above the pyramid and eye If we don't demand the truth Their justice will never be served Beg bread from a murderer (I won't) Beg bread from a murderer (I won't) Beg bread! Beg bread from a murderer Beg bread from a murderer Beg bread from a murderer Beg bread! Call me a pariah, it doesn't matter what you do to me Can't kill the desire to find the truth that sets us free Call me a pariah, it doesn't matter what you do! Born in blood (they rule by secrecy) Born in blood (the 33rd degrees) Call me a pariah, it doesn't matter what you do to me Can't kill the desire to find the truth that sets us free I won't let you keep killing off my prophets I'll do all I can to stop you, to bring an end The deceit will face defeat Together we can end their reign The deceit will face defeat Together we can end their reign You're monitored We're all monitored

When I was young I used to think I had it all figured out: The physical didn't lie, and the lies I knew were true Fed on that common set of beliefs that my school Then my job, and a little routine would be my everything But when I started to reflect on my own passions Something inside me started to cry All of a sudden everything in the physical was just a mirage And I knew the only thing which was forever real was already inside of me No more compromising with the material world Meeting the demands of those living as ghosts Not in this lifetime would I watch from the sidelines As my true ambitions would be silenced I knew that the only thing that was forever real was already inside of me It was my essence My Soul I will not fall victim to your will I will not fall victim to your ways This flesh and bone is just a fraction of what we are This flesh and bone is just a fraction of what we are I will not fall victim to your will I will not fall victim to your ways I will not fall victim to your will I will not fall victim to your will, your ways, to your web To your will, your ways, to your web I will not fall victim I will not fall victim I will not fall victim I will not fall

Who are you to label blasphemy When you try to redefine veracity My soul will not be manufactured Only a blind soul could think that these stories could be the answer to all History alone cannot enlighten your soul to be one with god You can't bear witness to the cure of your own disease You can't bear witness to the cure of your own disease Involuntarily adamant, synthetic sense of attachment Involuntarily adamant, synthetic sense I must step aside (just follow) I must step aside (just follow me) I must step aside (just follow) I must step aside Single file to bliss. Just follow Single file to bliss. Just follow me Single file to bliss. Just follow Single file to bliss. Follow me I must step aside Single file to bliss. I step aside Single file to bliss. I step aside Praise the ones who pave the way to our graves The only hope left now is revolution Praise the ones who pave the way to our graves The only hope left now is revolution Revolution Revolution The time has come I know that our goal is for every man to atone For I won't condone those who don't want to see all men grow Decide: bombs or Christ. You cannot be for both The innocent cannot be spent filling the pockets of guilty men Let's go You will wear your stigma alone You will wear your stigma alone

Don't force regret This is a coup d'état of your systematic failure This is a coup d'état of what you've made I will sacrifice all of your traditions So that I can fulfill my own dreams What you glorify, the perfect orthodox It's just another way of keeping me blind What you glorify, the perfect orthodox It's just another way of keeping me blind To what could be keeping me blind to what could be me Don't force regret upon my ears (don't force regret, don't, don't) Don't force regret upon my ears (do not glorify this) Don't force regret upon my ears (don't force regret, don't, don't) Don't force regret upon my ears The only path that I'll walk down is the one my heart lays The only path that I'll walk down is the one my heart lays You cannot replace happiness with status You cannot replace happiness with status There's no sunlight in my cubicle Those who abandon their dreams will be the fist to discourage yours Those who abandon their dreams will be the fist to discourage you Don't force regret upon my ears Don't force regret upon my ears

Turn over your, your dollar bill Translate the words They have painted this picture Painted it so well but the colors do run They have painted this picture Painted it so well but the colors do run Turn over your, your dollar bill Translate the words "In our battle against those that detest our free and prosperous society We cannot sacrifice any of the pillars our nation stands upon Namely respect for the Constitution and the rule of law We must demonstrate to the world that America Is the best example of what a solid constitution with properly enforced laws can bring to those who desire freedom and safety If we become hypocrites about our own legal system, how can we sell it abroad or question legal systems different than our own?" Force-feeding this artificial pride As our freedom is tossed to the side Force-feeding this artificial pride As our freedom is tossed to the side How can we liberate others, when we can't liberate ourselves? How can we liberate others, when we can't liberate ourselves? How can we liberate others, when we can't liberate ourselves? How can we liberate others, when we can't liberate ourselves? When they said that it was legal, they took it all away And when they took all of it away, freedom died that day When they said that it was legal, they took it all away And when they took all of it away, freedom died that day And we watch as they dry the blood on their hands with the flames of the constitution (All lies. They sold us illusions and promises.) Our amendments are dropping like flies Our amendments are dropping like flies It's all part of the novus ordo seclorum It's all part of the novus ordo seclorum Modern day Babylon Give us back our rights Give us back our rights Give us back our rights Give us back our rights
