Misery Index - The Lies That BindLyrics

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 miles Untruths in unwritten law annihilate imagination Hope becomes a process The intravenous feed That's bound in tune with 'progress', in dialectic comedy More demagogues emerging The paradise parade begins Where everything is perfect and 'time' is all we need to save And just as oceans swallow all ships that sink in time This spectacle will crumble from false and ill conceived design. These fragile frames are breaking And knots will soon come undone The bloody fields of history have yet another war to come As chants turn into anthems and shouts turn into battle cries The statues of their heroes gone crack and yield to newborn human lives. Tired of marching to their tune in time The gears of oppression have ceased No light at the end off the production line- show us that this life's worth living Books are burning in the night As consciousness is laid to rest Another dream falls out of sight, and what have we to show for this?
