Hive Mind

Separate and unequal
In a system that’s evil
They say we’re all the same
But still expect you to change
One in the same
All held in chains
One in the same
Collective pain
In the hive mind
Assimilation, amalgamation
One dream, one nightmare
One people all the same
Your differences, death sentences
Desperate and lethal,
Sick and starving people
No future left in sight
Bled dry by the watchers eye
One in the same,
All held in chains
One in the same
Collective pain in the hive mind
Join or die
Controlled by the hive mind
Won’t get in line
I’m out of step
No place in this existence
I won’t pay for it
Won’t get in line
I’m out of step
One dream, one nightmare, one people
Break the chain

Weight of the world
All I feel
What will it take
For these scars to heal
My heart to turn to steel
Sick of your sympathy
This place is killing me
All I know
Long to see
Freedom from this stark reality
Slave to the ways
I torture myself each and every day
Give me the poison that I crave
Vicious cycle, this won’t ever change
Sick of your sympathy this place is killing me
All I know, long to see
Freedom from this stark reality
Bite down and grit my teeth
The pressures on,
so I search for the strength to carry on
I may be down, damned and diseased
And the situations looking bleak
Nothings ever too far gone
I find the strength to carry on
I may be down damned and diseased
Life tries to bring me to my knees
The anxiety is crippling
But there is no defeat in me

The Fact Remains
02:35

A serpents tongue
Behind your teeth
Waiting to spew your
Skewed beliefs
Taking advantage
Of the down and broken
Hate runs in
Every word you’ve spoken
I’m waiting for your end
You’ll get your due,
in the harsh light of the truth
You claim you’ve changed
But the fact remains
You use and abuse
The ones who give you their faith
You claim you’ve changed
But the fact remains
Always playing the victim
You’re in love with the pain
Fear through force
Lying to the people
For your own sick gain
You’ll do anything
To save some face
Confronted with something
You can’t escape
I’m waiting for your end
You’ll get your due
In the harsh light of the truth
You claim you’ve changed
But the fact remains
You use and abuse
The ones who give you their faith
You claim you’ve changed
But the fact remains
Always playing the victim
You’re in love with the pain
Now at the end of the noose
The gavel comes swinging for you
Dragged out into the light of the truth
The gavel comes swinging for you
You’ll get your due
THE GAVEL SWINGS
The gavel swings for you

Ce disque me rappelle les Rage against the machine, fatalement. Mais la musique me plaît davantage, car plus hardcore. Il y a du riff pour des mois.
