about

A hostile, cruel environment without any sense of belonging or purpose. Our identity is being stripped from us - we are merely means to keep the machine running. Until it eventually swallows us.

lyrics

The curtain falls
All memories are gone
Now merely a part of The Moloch
A cell in a being
That runs on black blood
Breathes paper
And feeds on the energy of those
Which are incapable of speaking for themselves

There's false teachings
Inflicted on them all
Disobedience is pointless
They're deaf to the call

How can you be so blind
To all the little miracles around you?
How can you face each day
Living someone else's dream
Believing that's freedom?
How can you be so blunt
To think that everything will be allright?
Even if you don't fight
Even if you don't do what's right

Open your eyes!

Your dreams seem out of sight
It doesn't care to see your light
It has its ears and eyes
It knows all your fears and all your lies

It captures your precious thoughts
With its mind and it's detention
Of what speaks from your soul

Your heart is not aligned
Nobody hears your silent cries
When all you need
To be free
Is to accept that
All you need
To be free
Is to accept where you are
And that you won't be ever understood

You all are part of it
You learned to pretend
You learned to fit

It captures our precious thoughts
With its mind and its detention
Of what speaks from our souls
You're not alone

Cloudy skies
Fade to gray
The radiance of our perception
Ruined by our ignorance
More weapons, more bullets
More pain, more slaughter
All for one purpose
Heighten the separation
To keep us from being all one

There's false teachings inflicted on us all
Resistance is futile
We're deaf to the call

How can you be so blind
To all the little miracles around you?
How can you face each day
Living someone else's dream
Believing that's freedom?
How can you be so blunt
To think that everything will be allright?
Even if you don't fight
Even if you don't do what's right

Open your eyes!
Open your eyes!

And you will see in time
That you are safe to leave this mess behind and believe
