Lyrics We Are the Dead - Eternal Dirge

We Are the Dead

As you gain for power
Pain has been hurled
Opression every hour
It’s a dog-eat-dog world
Now as you can see
Dream turns into insanity
Only the Thought-police mattered
Your dreams of a free life are shattered
Total reconstruction of the past
Two-minute-hate-programmes
That won’t last
No truth — but propaganda
In your head
Slowly dicovering that
WE ARE THE DEAD
Total control
By permanent supervision
Absolute power
By manipulation
No correspondence
Between facts and their representation
WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGHT
