Dancers To A Discordant System |
Listen to the hidden tune |
The essence of lies in notes defined |
As we dance to the dissonant sway |
The choreography refined |
Will subdued and shackled |
Reason washed aside |
Pledging our love to the chains |
Our ignorance ever-amplified |
Bloodened hands lead the waltz |
We’re trapped in the out-of-tune swirl |
Still we set the show on continue mode |
And dance to a discordant system |
We accept the nails we’re fed |
Lies sharpened to bleed us silent |
Muted from the pains |
Defiance employed in vain |
Any attempts to leave the dance |
Invisibly suppressed |
Questions unasked, we learn the steps |
Eyes shut like all the rest |
Unsuspecting, willing, blind, controllable herd |
Pawns in a covert game conducted by hands we trust |
Dominated, compliant and deceptable |
Confident that we matter — we don’t see that we’re but dust |
Committed to a lie we cannot see, cannot know nor comprehend |
We’re all asinine drones kept in the dark, kept in line |
Confined, bereft of reason |
Withering in toxicity |
The deadly fumes of deceit |
And we all reek of complicity |
Humbled, brought to our knees |
By the weight of our own guilt |
Our nescient ways the catalyst |
To injustice and inhumanity |
We dance — to appease |
Compete in stupidity |
Obscured faces file our points |
Numbers fed to the machine |
Still we stand in line for the next show |
The human spine liquefied |
What are we, but stupefied |
Dancers to a discordant system |
We believe — so we’re misled |
We assume — so we’re played |
We confide — so we’re deceived |
We trust — so we’re betrayed |
We believe — so we’re misled |
We assume — so we’re played |
We confide — so we’re deceived |
We trust — so we’re betrayed |
