Nevermore - The Tiananmen Man Lyrics
On june fifth, in the year of eighty-nine, he was unarmed with focused mindDeflance glared down the barrel of the gun pointed from a tank in tiananmen squareAnd he stood there:To control, to manipulate, the media his power slaveHe knew the world was watching, knew he had a planTo confront the powerful tyranny in the square of tiananmenEcstatic youth played with fire, freedom wash over themDemocracy their desire, the tiananmen man had a planManipulate the mediaHe used blind faith in the face of anarchy, the cybernetic rapture has begun to envelop meFreedom is the rush, adrenaline high, choice of the oppressed wiling to dieLike a hostage the government holds your drugTo control, to manipulate, the media his power slaveHe knew the world was watching, knew he had a planTo confront the powerful tyranny in the square of tiananmenEcstatic youth played with fire, freedom wash over themDemocracy their desire, the tiananmen man had a planManipulate the mediaHis act was a cybernetic gestureHis act was a cybernetic gestureHe knew the world was watching, knew he had a planTo confront the powerful tyranny in the square of tiananmenEcstatic youth played with fire, freedom wash over themDemocracy their desire, the tiananmen man had a planManipulate the media, manipulate the mediaManipulate to control
