Funeral of Dreams

As I walked through fields of innocence

My dreams were distorted with no defense

Earth's creatures beside me, what a joy to be

Bright flowers, gay sunshine, sweet destiny

Then one day scarecrow greeted me

My mind began to see truths unfolding

So I built - a house up in a tree

To view reality and began observing

From there I saw an abattoir for minds

A system of lies man is enslaved in

Murdered thoughts, human machinery

In life's factory keep the wheels turning

Now that the sun sets upon this magic land

My eyes are wide open to the ill fate of man

They put me in a place to educate

Instead my mind was raped, not yet turned eight

Stories of crucifixion and moral codes to live life by

Force-fed lies, defiled, brainwashed and blind

Then a priest with fire in his eyes

Warned me of my demise if I stopped believing

He said young man you'll burn in hell you see

Christ is your sanctuary, so just be subservant

Stand up and fight, defend your country

Kiss feet of the elite and you shall inherit

Your wealth up in the sky but first you have to die

And live in poverty - keep the wheels turning

Now that the sun sets upon this fated land

My eyes are wide open to the ill deeds of man

Where is this place, I once wondered free?

A funeral of dreams became reality

Grey concrete, human cage - society

Joys butchered, blind envy, bleak destiny

Killing yourself to get by in this murdered world

Words, music on black plastic; the truth!

Black towers over you and me authority

Destroy your will to be if you let them own you

Reclaim your mind, view life through your own eyes

You soon may realise your own true meaning

Fuck their wars, religious lies and laws

Guilt trips you're not the cause, don't just accept them

A life of misery they want for you and me

Just drink and be merry - stop the wheels turning

Now that the sun sets upon this magic land

My eyes are wide open to the ill fate of man
