Song language: English
Violent Sleep of Reason |
| A systematically applied veil to heedless eyes |
| Focus deflected, ignore |
| This is not our war |
| Bury the abject shame in the same bile as our ideals |
| The potent lubricant to deceits grinding wheels |
| The menacing implications, the violent sleep of reason |
| Betrayal we all help sustain |
| Humanitarian treason |
| This deadly inclination, this forfeiture of innocence |
| The sacrifice of guiltless souls for our own deliverance |
| The pain you feel |
| Indifference thrust into your back |
| Forged from our ignorance from our immorality |
| A parody, this mockery |
| To no avail you kneel before this our insanity |
| Another life condemned |
| Your fate sealed the second you came to exist |
| Your suffering non-essential for we care not if you subsist |
| We will all belie ang allusion, any crime |
| Cower and hide any culpability denied |
| All will imply it’s an illusion, a fallacy |
| So when you die, remember we said it’s not reality |
