PANOPTIKON
For you who choose bondage, the world is a cage
Paralyzed under their gaze
These  scraps of self, they're not enough
But  they're all that I could steal
It's  easier for you - you don't fucking feel
Do  you
Subjugate our nightmares, bend them to their  ends
And they offer to share the  dividends?
A place in the shadow  of the great guillotine

And are you blessed,  in these days of lifelessness?
I'm  choking on the rim of your righteousness
Staring  through the bars at the worlds we'll never know
Lost  in the city, the beaten crowds
Those  around you gagged and bound
Smothered
Caught
Gasping
in Panoptikon
Defined by confines,  condemned to live these lives
No  secrets safe from their eyes
But  what goes on in our minds goes on in your hearts
Denied all creation, destruction is our bitter  art
We'll slip through the cracks,  we're not afraid
For every bent knee  too shall break
We'll dance in the shadow  of the great guillotine
That does its rhythmic  work
On each and every unbowed  head
One
by  one
by one.

Judgment
Are you the sacred and the clean?
One  day we'll rise to mount the skies
And  tear your gods' towers down
Freedom
In the death rows (death throes) of this machine
No freedom here, living in fear
Until  every wheel stops turning
Until  every channel goes dead
Until every light goes  out
Until every city is burning
Then  we'll see some freedom!
