Lotus Eaters 02:41
Lotus Eaters With the ship of fools they sail Faceless humanoids, Of all self-awareness And identitiy devoid Lotus eaters Self-deceivers – A travesty of liberty Without a fight They admit complete defeat And senselessly they worship Some obscure elite Lotus eaters Self-deceivers – A travesty of liberty Won’t you take a chance And swim up the stream It’s such a fateful ride Long ago you would have been seen As a man of valor Now just a would-be suicide, A goner Lotus eaters Self-deceivers – A travesty of liberty Lotus eaters Self-deceivers – The tragedy of humanity

The Prometheus Deception Influential intellectual? Subverter in truth For selfish ends you can never reach the Absolute Do you really expect to be Taken so damn seriously? Watch history change in modern books Affecting our perception To idolize a virtual crook Is a well forethought deception You are aiming higher Want to play with fire The feeble you inspire Yes you do Scam in the guise of wisdom You despise just to make the skies Laugh at you A judgement on you is due without a doubt: By a bird of prey you’re going to have Your liver eaten out Now would you still expect to be Taken so damn seriously? Watch history change in modern books Affecting our perception To idolize a virtual crook Is a well forethought deception You are aiming higher Want to play with fire The feeble you inspire Yes you do Scam in the guise of wisdom You despise just to make the skies Laugh at you You are playing with fire

They Pull The Strings ...Pull the strings again!.. Go! I don’t need the latest news to know just how we live: Where there is a scandal it’s easy to forgive They pull the strings and we dance, don’t ask why They make their moves and we fall, left to die I wonder what happens if I just keep my mouth shut, Obey and buy all that they’re offering to me – I might as well give up everything reduced to slavery, Never to be free... What seems to be so charming is rotting inside Make-believe and shallowness, to see this i can’t abide They pull the strings and we dance, don’t ask why They make their moves and we fall, left to die I wonder what happens if I put on a mask of apathy. Just let me see if it really helps to take away the pain - I might as well search for my own paradise on Jeopardy Lane... Wouldn’t it be insane?

Diamond-cutter Mr. Big Shot's got a rival at the head of the state... It's a matter of survival: they're deciding on our fate We are the ones denied and rejected By the leaders we have elected Diamond cut diamond... What are you maniacs trying to prove? Cut the crap or we will cut you down! Unrestrained emulation - head first to a concrete wall Is this the way to serve your nation? I can't see your point at all! We are the ones denied and rejected By the leaders we have elected Diamond cut diamond... What are you maniacs trying to prove? Cut the crap or we will cut you down! Diamond cut diamond - you're aching to be heard What makes you think you must always have the last word? Diamond cut diamond - the truth always hurts There's always someone out there to start a war of words Diamond cut diamond... What are you maniacs trying to prove? Cut the crap or we will cut you down!
