1. THE DILEMMA REMAINS

Bright-eyed nameless bride
Out of chaos it shines, thy light
"When the stars threw down their spears"
Your desire burnt my fears
Empty fill me now,
Try to scare the bliss out of me
Dare twist questions out of me
Give no answer, make no sign

Perfect engine,
You're dominating my inner self
Spreading a doleful disease
Appal coffins in my mind

I will be devoured, I'm insane,
I can't see what threats are at my feet
Nor "lose the name of action" though I dread it

Yours the profit, you know
I know
Mine is the loss
Seeing my mind is falling into a precipice

"Did he smile his work to see"
When his wrath fell down on me?

A fearful symmetry, it appears
Here come human tears
Like a demon said to an angel,
Man said to man
The more you love, the more I hate,
My ears left off to hear

Nothing I do know
A deep doubt, it is persistent
Voices whispering
"Oh how unlike the place from whence they fell"

Yours the profit, you know
I know
Mine is the loss
Seeing my mind is falling into a precipice

So the dilemma remains
I just know it's here to stay
Being for some nonentity
Torment to my soul

Give no answer, make no sign
My mind's in chains, the dilemma remains


2. REMOTE CONTROL SEIZURE

A bunch of demented,
They invade your sight
And their dreary real madness
It is no drug that I would choose
Turn your TV on, then turn your brain off
'Cause what I see on the screen
Does not recall humanity

So ignorance
Is a swelling cloud
Through this uncontrollable
Wave of distractions
My mind drowns
The Media Monster, it promotes consent
People gradually growing childish
It nullifies dissent

They're speaking of nothing
It's to me they are talking!

We know their entertainment means dementia
The result? Sanity is falling down
We are all turning into TV fodder
We reject everything TV creates

Remote control seizure

It's sheer idiocy not anything else
Critic spirit at its end
They put our minds on dirty shelves
Bow to the new-born frien called Mediacracy
Emaciated brains will feed on cultural sterility

They're speaking of nothing
It's to me they are talking!

We know their entertainment means dementia
The result? Sanity is falling down
We are all turning into tv fodder
We reject everything tv creates

Remote control seizure

Eyes are on fire for cunning young girls
Naked dolls yearning just for polaroids
Disgusting dull deeds always displayed
Tell me if you're immune to this dirt
The media monster promotes just consent
The media monster nullifies dissent


3. FREE WILL STATE OF HEALTH

The victim of mid manipulation
Does not know that he is a victim.
To him, the walls of his prison are invisible
And he believes himself to be free.

Inside the circle of lies,
Inside the storm of the night
You know there's nowhere to hide
Try to escape not to die

Man's born free and when he is in chains
All is left is war and pain
Busher - he who sells off death,
Killer of human respect

I want to win and to fall
And these are my only rights
I long for seeing a world
Where none gives a fuck about fights
None's my owner I won't claim to someone
Who's none for what's mine
If you don't like, I don't care
Your voice's deceit, your face's nightmare

Freedom is not G8
Freedom's destruction of those
Who build your prison
Freedom's not petrol
Freedom's destruction of those
Who build your prison

Though freedom surrounds you,
Know that you will stay their slave,
To negate insurrection
And to drive the masses their aim

Under the shadow of what's called
The Statue of Liberty,
The C.I.A. has kindly armed the worst
Dictators on our Earth

Freedom's not N.A.T.O.
Freedom's destruction of those
Who build your prison
I don't want to be ripped off by you
So get bent, don't fuck my freedom!


4. MIND-FORGED MANACLES

"Quite athwart goes all decorum"
So welcome to this pandemonium
Hate is our disaster
A fearful symmetry's approaching
The tiger,
He springs in the new years

It is sore - he devours

I observe a dead tree
I know it gives no shelter
The dry stone,
It gives no sound of water
I know brunches don't grow out
Of this stony rubbish
Dry brains in dry seasons

Inside every face
Desolation
Inside every cry, in every ban, in every voice...

The mind-forged manacles i hear

Ruling distortion
Testify the world corruption
I see a satisfied procession
Of fragile faces
Hypnotized by the haughty figure's speeches
I behold the blinding project
I know his white habit
Obscures minds

Lasting crisis means permanent control
Twist the manacles, resist

Ravenous rare ratification
Testify the world corruption

The pan of people's patience,
Will it brim before we die?!


5. THE SECOND COMING

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer
Things fall apart
The centre cannot hold
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world

The blood-dimmed tide is loosed
And everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned
The best lack all conviction
While the worst are full
Of passionate intensity

Surely some revelation is at hand
Surely the second coming is at hand
The second coming

Then a vast image out
Of spiritus mundi troubles my sight

Somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body
And the head of a man
A galze blank
And pitiless as the sun

Is moving its slow thighs
While all about it
Reel shadows
Of the indignant desert birds

The darkness drops again
But now i know
That twenty century of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by rocking cradle,
And what rough beast
Its hour come round at last
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?


6. THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN

The shady figures' laugh
Resounds in my head
Their crimes don't mean deathrow
Their crimes lead to the throne

Threatening peace ain't no bliss
War's the real alternative
I do know the world's disease
It is iatrogenic

The World Upside Down
Loves money and scorns honesty

Justice is no more
Its death I deplore
The countries that keep peace
They sell the most weapons
Sunlit trust
It has set
'Cause our neighbour is a threat
And the best industries spread their poison
Through our Earth

Enter the upside-down world doctrine

The World Upside Down
It teaches us to suffer goddam reality
Rather than change it
Now, tell me why I feel so hollow

That's when the idolatry of arms and the
Worship of holy machines unite, combine

The World Upside Down
Its belly-button you will find on its backside
The head's where the feet used to be
And it's got its left on its right


7. REQUIEM FOR BRAINWORK

An immense misfortune is regimentation
Toxic propaganda poisons human rivers
In our world, "Never have so many
Been manipulated so much by so few"
I keep closer the wall

Toxic propaganda poisons human rivers
Complete cerebral breakdown
Psychic censorship is spreading
But man is not made to be an automaton

Nothingness has emptied me
I have been deinvidualized

Hear the axiom, now
Two and two make five
Brainwork paralysis' breeding
Modern times slaves
Symptoms of regime
Two and two make five
Consciousness lethargy
The pang of mankind

They are dissipating the intellectual brainwork
I do know the enemy

Cultural imperialisn
Unexciting truths eclipsed
By thrilling fairy-tales

If I twist the manacles, what do I see?
Fragments of humanity in a slavish mentality

Nothingness has emptied me
I have been deinvidualized
Enter my disdain
Driving me insane
Brainwork paralysis' breeding
Modern times slaves
The only way I know to pound the plague:
Smashing and shattering
The entrails of the Power Elite

The Insignifican Majority - We are
The Ruling minority - They are.
