Misery Index - The Lies That Bind Lyrics
Rising from the tide, a Kraken cloaked in wisdom, propagates his lies,For love of living death...As faith in leaders falter and dole-queues stretch for snake-like milesUntruths in unwritten law annihilate imaginationHope becomes a process, the intravenous feedThat's bound in tune with "progress" - in dialectic comedyProblems rise in culture, where contradiction's known to breedAnd puppeteers unquestioned string up the masses in their sleepThese guardians of comfort and selfishness decreedWill deify convenience at all expense of every human needThe Lies that bind are lies unbinding...More demagogues emerging, the paradise parade beginsEverything is perfect, and "time" is all we need to saveAnd just as oceans swallow, all ships that sink in timeThis spectacle will crumble, from false and ill-conceived designThese fragile frames are breaking, and knots will soon come undoneThe bloody fields of history have yet another war to come...As chants turn into anthems, and shouts turn into battle criesThe statues of their heroes gone, crack and yield to newborn human livesTired of marching to their tune in time, the gears of oppression have ceasedNo light at the end of the production line- show us that this life's worth livingBooks are burning in the night, where consciousness is laid to restAnother dream falls out of sight...and what have we to show for this?
