Lyrics Shades of Doom - Mekong Delta

Shades of Doom

Can’t control
My hands and feet
Conditioned to be a human machine
Can’t control
My thoughts and needs
Memories erased…
My brain won’t work
Without that chip — inside my head
The things I see — I can’t define
Responsibility seems strange to me
Shock — I’m a victim of the latest
Fear — Gene technology
Shock — I’m trained to be a robot
Fear — To serve society
Shock — I never ask no questions
Fear — I never cause a doubt
Shock — I don’t know what’s going on and what it’s about all
I gotta know
The reason why
I can’t receive no signals anymore
Seems like I’m
Left alone
In a dying world
I did my job — all night and day
Now everything — has gone astray
There’s emptiness — inside my head
I realize I’ve been long gone dead
Shock — Foreign determination
Fear — And the happiness I’ve known
Shock — Have faded with the signals
Fear — From my master’s room
Shock — All wires disconnected
Fear — I see the shades of doom
Shock — Standing by the ruins fills my heart with gloom
