Lyrics

The power of suggestion on the unsuspecting mind

The influence of suggestion on minds that are not aware or prepared.

Influencing towards an end something pre-defined

Guiding towards a predetermined outcome or goal.

Slowly taking hold upon our stony hearts so cold

Gradually seizing control of our emotionally hardened hearts.

A life according to this book, damnation was foretold

A life dictated by a certain ideology, leading to a predicted damnation.


Beware the powers, the powers that be

Warning about influential authorities or systems.

The darkest hours will come, you will see

Anticipating challenging and difficult times.


Fight!

An urging call to resist or confront.


Backed into a corner

Feeling trapped and under surveillance.

No escape from camera eyes

No way to avoid the watchful eyes of authority.

Dissecting every thought you share

Examination and manipulation of every shared thought.

Corrupting from inside

Internal corruption or moral decay.


Surrender one more liberty

Relinquishing a freedom in exchange for a false sense of security.

In pursuit of false security

Pursuing security that is deceptive or not genuine.

Bow your head, go along

Submission to authority without questioning.

Follow suit, it's all perverse and wrong

Conforming to societal norms that are twisted and immoral.


Beware the powers, the powers that be

Reiteration of the warning against influential powers.

The darkest hours will come, you will see

Reaffirming the inevitability of challenging times.


And in the moment change

A moment of significant change.

A recognition of apathy

Realizing and acknowledging a state of apathy.

The curtain falls

The end of a scenario or situation.

And duty calls

A sense of duty arising.

Your brains are splattered on the wall

An abrupt, possibly violent, end to the current state.


Finally awakened from this ignorance so blind

Awakening from ignorance and rejecting servitude and falsehood.

Never again to return to servitude and lies

Commitment to never return to a state of blind obedience.

Prevailing anger unoppressed, fury starts to rise

Building anger, uncontrolled and unrestrained.

Topple power structures, there'll be nothing left behind

Overthrowing established power structures, leaving nothing in their wake.


Beware the powers, the powers that be

Repeating the cautionary message about influential powers.

The darkest hours will come, you will see

Reiterating the certainty of challenging times ahead.
