lyrics

Open wide like the camera eye.
Extricate the will to defy.
Welcome to the new directive.
Life moves forth.
Progress without insight all your own.
Swallow the pill.
Become the lie.

NEVER relent the right to speak!
Free will of thought the essence of humanity.

All inside, this echoes bright.
Fueling every fire,
Stoked by the power and the flames of desire.
To reignite our hearts and minds.
Only fools rush to conclusions in the aftermath of carelessness and knee jerk reactions.

So what the fuck are you?
The insect or the glue?

So who the fuck are you?
The ant or the shoe?

Deeper down...
Deeper down, we go... (2x)

NEVER relent the right to speak!
Free will of thought the essence of humanity.

Conditioned from our births to deny and disengage the functions of the riotous mind.
Controlled and guided toward predetermined ideals:
Natural selection's failing...
Amongst a crowded sea of deceit lies the heart of pure evil and a conscious deplete of all ties to a world where one voice holds the power:
It's a part of human nature.
Terror's route of social disease is the impetus of change facing final defeat in the hands of plastic, synthetic drones, that live to distort and cause pain to their own.

(Solo: B. Almeida)

We built a cage to wall us in.
We built a cage to keep them out.
The voices rage in vein, invade.
Blinding rage will destroy thy cage.
Like arsenic and tattered lace,
Or the setting sun:
You can't evade.
It's the death of all truths:
Self evidence's guiding rays...
I didn't build my cage to keep me in.
I built my cage to keep them out.
I built a cage ah...
I built a cage,
Oh no I've built a cage.
Inside my cage, I wear a masque.
Inside my cage, I am the act.
Inside you will find:
There is no you.
...there is no I.

NEVER relent the right to speak!
Free will of thought the essence of humanity.

(Solo: S. Oliver)

Welcome to the new direction:
Embrace the path to self destruction...

(Solo: S. Oliver)

OPEN WIDE...
EAT THE LIE!
