HIDE BEHIND
Hide behind your shallow lifestyle
Hide behind your infantile toys
Hide behind your speed and your cocaine
Hide behind your meaningless noise
There really is nowhere, nowhere to…
Hide behind your informed opinions
Hide behind your fictional facts
Hide behind your a-social circle
Hide behind your self righteous act
There really is nowhere, nowhere to…

IMMIGRANT
I am an immigrant
A sec ond class citizen
An inconvenient truth
An uneasy compromise
I am an immigrant
Persona non grata
For most and to many
A servant lacking bonds
Give us your weak and poor, we’ll make them suffer more
Treat them with suspicion, total indifference
Keep them in a state of total uncertainty
To assert full control of their dismal realities
I am an immigrant
Drowning in red tape
I live by the grace
Of those who care not

MISINFORMATION/DISINFORMATION?
Fact or fiction
Lines have been blurred
Maliciously spreading
Confusion is the endgame
War of information
Anonymous adversaries
Cyber-terrorism
Who is the real enemy?

THINK AGAIN
It doesn’t matter who you vote for
As long as you vote
It doesn’t matter who you pray for
As long as you pray
Or so they would have you think
Or so they would have you think
It doesn’t matter who you work for
As long as you work
It doesn’t matter who you buy from
As long as you buy
Or so they would have you think
Or so they would have you think
Think again!

ERASE THE PAST
Blind Faith, blind hate
Destroy & erase
History = heresy
Eradicate, without trace
History repeats itself!
Extremism, ignorance
Cause & Effect
Hatred has no pallet
History has no place
History repeats itself!
Blind Faith, blind hate
Destroy & erase
History = heresy
Eradicate, without trace
History repeats itself!

PEASANTS
You talk about Freedom
You talk about Wealth
You talk about Choices
And Equality too
A Brave New World
Modern and fair
With Justice and Liberty
For all who adhere
Nothing has changed
We’re still fucking Peasants
You voice your opinion
You voice your ideas
You’re making a statement
As if anyone cares
You point out to others
This is the Land of the Free
United and faultless
And classless and free
Nothing has changed
We’re still fucking Peasants
Groveling in shit
At our Masters boot

Neocolonialism = Slavery
01:46
|

|
NEOCOLONIALISM = SLAVERY
The golden rule of human survival
Don’t bite the hand that feeds
So give the masses substandard sustenance
And they won’t bite!
The golden rule of public relations
Make it look like you are the liberators
So give the masses the illusion of freedom
And they won’t rise!
The golden rule of the human condition
See through the oppressors self serving lies
Enslaved through deception, shackled by promise
Rid you of these and then you shall rise!

Global Corporate Takeover
You pull our strings
You are the noose
We’re bound and gagged
And bound to lose
Our palms are greased
Our mouths are shut
We’re bought and sold
Our doom is fuckin wrought

DIVISION
Politics of power
Politics of fear
Media distorts the facts
We all live in fear
Conspiracies of Terror
Conspiracies of Faith
Spoon-fed on uncertainty
We are taught to hate
Hate your neighbor
Distrust your peers
Everyone’s a terrorist
We all live in fear
Contradicting statements
Confusion’s just a tool
Inject on daily basis
We are played the fool
Global paranoia
Intolerance the creed
Divide and fucking conquer
It’s fear on which they feed
Fear on which they feed!

Preaching To The Deaf

PREACHING TO THE DEAF
HEAR YE!
The unheard, the unspoken.
The hidden meanings, the unwritten word.
Misinterpretations, twisted truths.
Silenced cries, false dogma.
The Grand Opiate.
Unopposed, with eyes wide open.
Docile, dosed, dazed.
Swallow and choke, swallow and choke.
The Grand Opiate.
Blind to reason.
Inconvenient fact.
Pacified in chains.
Shackled without protest.
The Grand Opiate.
A distant nagging sensation.
Heard as from afar.
Fails to register.
Falls on Deaf Ears.
The Grand Opiate.
Smart phones.
Dumb humans.
Activate device.
Deactivate all thought.
They got you where they want you.
And you didn't even notice.
Without regret you embrace.
The Grand Opiate.

Grindcore that makes you think and grind your teeth.
