lyrics
A prophecy fulfilled – warnings have been ignored
Unconscious of what the evil fade may have in store for us
Traits embedded in the origin of man have been carried to extremes
Reason’s extinction
Disciples who are heteronomous, indifferent, controllable
“We are like lambs in a field, disporting themselves under the eye of the butcher, who chooses out first one and then another for his prey”
Standing in the pillory, to pay the penalty of our existence
Indifferentism, even at the point of collapse
Compassion is a phenomenon which will rapidly decline
As soon as the headlines and pictures begin to fade we crave for more
We scramble for wealth, capital taken out of collapsing markets
To milk the cashcow while the poor dogs cease to be
Blissfully unaware of the threatening creation of a surveillance society
Our nature will put us to an end
Sickness, humiliation, ignorance
We are like lambs in a field, disporting themselves under the eye of the butcher, who chooses out first one and then another for his prey”
Unconscious of what the evil fade may have in store for us
Traits embedded in the origin of man have been carried to extremes
Reason’s extinction
Disciples who are heteronomous, indifferent, controllable
“We are like lambs in a field, disporting themselves under the eye of the butcher, who chooses out first one and then another for his prey”
Standing in the pillory, to pay the penalty of our existence
Indifferentism, even at the point of collapse
Compassion is a phenomenon which will rapidly decline
As soon as the headlines and pictures begin to fade we crave for more
We scramble for wealth, capital taken out of collapsing markets
To milk the cashcow while the poor dogs cease to be
Blissfully unaware of the threatening creation of a surveillance society
Our nature will put us to an end
Sickness, humiliation, ignorance
We are like lambs in a field, disporting themselves under the eye of the butcher, who chooses out first one and then another for his prey”
