Force fed lies from the hand of the enemy that we cannot see,
the hidden eye above watches all yet eludes from sight
Weapons of mass deception!
Open wide to the lies that they feed you
Intake their corruption, they poison everything that you consume
Create a sickness and sell you the cure
System failure, the main frame has collapsed
We are facing a rebirth, our existence must rebuild
We are destroying ourselves
The structures we have designed, a virus to this planet that we call home
We are our own disease
You cannot stop the infection
This illusion of safety has fooled us all, hiding the evidence from our eyes
Where has the truth gone?
Like an ocean it envelopes me, the lies, I'm drowning.
Break free from your closed mind
You will see, that you are not who they said you were
Escape from this prison
You must release yourself from the ties that bind you.
