Slowly our rights erode away

 We exist only to be slaves

 The hidden hand with fingers outstretched

 Closes in around our necks

 

 Masses refuse to see

 Kept in line as we are deceived

 Minds start to atrophy

 Suppress the will to be

 

 The grip tightens around our throats

 Gasping for air as we choke

 A barren future, we've lost all hope

 Slowly the grip tightens around our throats

 

 [Solo: Dan]

 

 Snuffing out the air from our lungs

 A horrid realization

 Suffocating, as we watch our world come undone

 Knowing the worst is yet to come

 

 Is this our destiny?

 To be enslaved endlessly

 The notion of our freedom

 Is a Fallacy

 

 [Solo: Dave]
