A LAND OF PEACE AND PLENTY (Overture)

(instrumental)

THE GOLDEN AGE

A day like any other in 2024.
The world’s in a state of perpetual war.
WAR IS PEACE, that’s what we’ve been told.
We’re impassively watching the future unfold.
I got an RFID chip inside my brain.
I’m under surveillance 24 hours a day.
I have to get rid of these treacherous doubts.
Get rid of these ominous thoughts.
I got a human ID chip inside my head.
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY,
that’s what we’ve been told.
Spineless society. Under total control.
Trust in the government! Follow the rules!
Follow the orders! Obedient fools!
SLAVERY IS FREEDOM,
that’s what we’ve been told.
THE GOLDEN AGE. THE NEW WORLD ORDER.
SLAVE TO THE STATE. THE NEW WORLD ORDER.

BETTER TRUST

A true worshipper! A real follower!
A trusting swallower of slogans!
We must fight this war! It’s worth dying for!
Better trust! The media have spoken!
Watch the martial scenes on the TV screen!
And we scream out „Kill the enemy“!
Filled with hate and fear! Killing war machine!
Blind with rage! Homicidal fury!

OF SHEEP AND WOLVES

If there is hope, it lies in the proles.
Only they have the force to resist.
The revolt of the masses
could crush the world order one day.
But there’s no tumult in the gutters.
A faceless stupid crowd in the streets.
Inferiors kept in subjection like animals.
A flock of sheep.

There’s nothing behind their cold tired eyes.
Void of all human feelings.
There’s nothing beneath their pale white skin.
But a dead heart still beating.
They were born, they grew up, they went to work,
they got married.
They were quite satisfied.
And they died. They fuck. They booze. They binge.
They vent their spleen on the true enemy. An easy scapegoat.

The Party is good. TV is good.
They stare blankly at the idiot box.
A nation of sheep begets a Government Of Wolves.
They rarely turn the screens off!

I’m a condemned man running out of time.
I’m a prisoner of my own mind.
The control system is being put in place.
I’m radio-controlled. I’m lost in a haze.
I’m poisoned. I’m brainwashed. I’m abused. I’m scared.
That’s what I am and I don’t even care.
We’re good party members. We’re nothing but numbers.
We’re pieces of the puzzle.
Barren and replaceable. The past was erased.
The erasure was forgotten. The lie became truth.
The truth is shapeable.

The Party is good. TV is good.
They stare blankly at the idiot box.
A nation of sheep begets a Government Of Wolves.
They rarely turn the screens off!

A nation of sheep begets a Government Of Wolves.
We’ve lost the freedom to think for ourselves!

FALSE FLAG

I woke up this morning. I can remember now.
I was a kid in 2004.
I’ve heard the war cries. So much louder than before.
The supposed enemy had started the war.
The pictures on the TV. It seemed so unreal.
A suspected gas attack was making me ill.
They took me to a camp in a menacing condition.
I had brain surgery.
There was no time for indecision.

REALM OF THE DEAD

Does anyone know why we get these shocks in our brain?
My mother once told me that everyone gets them.
A short sharp electric shock was shooting around my brain.
So I knew it was time to stop playing with meds.
Does anyone see a zigzag white flash of light?
My head feels pressure and I, I can’t think straight.

We got brain shocks that trigger fear!
They got all seeing eyes, they got all hearing ears!
I’ve got a microchip under my skin!
This world became a place, I don’t wanna live in!
We are the dead…
The future is written. The past was erased.

Traitor i adjudged you guilty of crimes against the party!
Will you deny?
There’s overwhelming evidence!
Betrayer! You’re accused of thought crimes!
Seducer of the sick minded innocents!
You will atone for your sins!
For your said crimes of which you have been
and now stand convicted,
you’re put to death by lethal injection!

REALM OF THE DEAD.
THE NEW WORLD ORDER.

OF SHEEP AND WOLVES (Reprise)

There’s nothing behind their cold tired eyes.
Void of all human feelings.
There’s nothing beneath their pale white skin.
But a dead heart still beating.

They reign. They oppress. They observe. They enslave.
They control. They’d stop at nothing.
They rule. They wage war. They deceive. And we bleed.
Under the eyes of the global elite.

SUBMISSION ACCOMPLISHED

The capstone came down on the Pyramid.
Now, the plan is complete!
The new order!
The future is sealed! The truth is revealed!
The all seeing eye! The new order!
United we stand! For the world’s superstate!
For all humankind! The new order!
We’re on our way! Submit and Obey!
Master and Slave! The new order!

THE END OF THE ORDEAL

We’re the high-tech slaves in a failing state.
We’re the orphaned records in the global database.
We are the futile nameless idle ones fading into eternal oblivion.
Our destiny is carved in stone.
We’re just handfuls of dust and splinters of bone.
The new order is put into place. We face the end.
It’s the end of all days.
We are the dead…
The future is written…
The past was erased.

This is not a day like any other.
Today we stand together like brothers.
We are the chosen few. Revolt was long overdue.
Suicide pact. Removing the mask. Alienate.
It won’t be a quiet death.
Here we are the unbelievers.
THIS IS THE END OF THE ORDEAL!
