Pride assasin Backed into a corner Why should you adhere to their illusions And their orders Willing to dictate yet for themselves exemption Evaluate your brain form your own opinions To be an induvidual - compassionate and free Unchallenged Hate A chronic complaint of dimness Prevails your profound ideology A romantic version of a master race Attained through coercive froms of authority Your observance is negigence If you see the threat from different cultures We're all in this sinking ship Each of us together Where does the whiteman stand? Where does the blackman stand? Where do we all fucking stand? Knee deep in shit Look into yourself And you'll find the real oppressor To a life of unchallenged hate It's yourself who's the nigger Social Sterillity Time for omittance From a sterile existance Where the weekend pays homage To stereotypicalperpetuation Must inebriate my senses Into a state of delirium Before I turn to the meatrack For my penial selection Apathy spreads In unison with sexual disease A scourge that infests The cattle markets of youth Unconscious just promiscuous Deprived of self respect In the selling of their bodies All emotions dead Thoughts absorbed Lost in sense of direction It's time to sit down And re-assess my course of action Suffer the Children Your unflappable conceptions Moralistic views Never open to criticism Your overpowering ruse Promise of sanctuary In eternal bliss With starry eyes and cash in hand Pledge all to the master plan Just face the truth or fund the farce At one with your god Your sole untent Your treasured place assured For a substantial rent Global lunacy Death threats for supposed blasphemy No room for free thought All non believers pushed to the floor Aggressive tyrants Supposed saints for the cause Judgement through force Faith a fuel for pointless wars When all is done Who shall benefit? Who is the one? Not those who pass on But those dictators divine waving their deceitfull wands Siege of Power Siege of power in your land Too many problems for you to understand Siege of power inside your mind Outward restrictions to keep you in line Siege of power in your land Too many problems - for you to understand You're a slave to their power you never questioned why you were born to suffer you are going to die Siege of power, they made you a tool While others were ruling you were being ruled Rise Above At the time of birth Minds free from suspicion Senses raped Induced with superstition A pre-set mode To benefit description Language, colour Race definition Inner strength must detect The love we each possess Before we may reach Appreciating it in anyone else External distinctions Used as scapegoats to problems Channeling our aggression In the wrong direction Break down the barriers That enforce superstition Learn to trust Overcome suspicion Acceptance, the weapon Active against our freedom Our love and compassion Held at treason Rise above induced superstition The Missing Link And intergral sense Comes with belonging to a scene Supposedly absent of barriers (When sexism is one of many) Earnest words Calling for unity of the sexes When she's still the chick, or stupid bitch (Ridiculed for showing an interest) Hidden indifference Strikes an emotion reaction When you see an animal being abused Yet un-noticed when a woman Is abused in the same way The links of oppression Stem from the same segradation But one our eyes are closed Actively abusing the rights of one Whilst fighting for those of another The 'scene' may hold a different name But the roleplays just the same Equal rights are fine As long as she's in her place Outrightly denouncing fascism Whilst oblivious to it taking place Is condemnation of standards All an act of save face Unity a stark ambition When our abuse surpasses recognition Mentally Murdered Your aspirations, unable to stretch Beyond the barriers of what's expected As the free thought you were born with Becomes externally ploluted Lose sight of your ideals In their brainwashing institutions Predetermine your values To befit your substandard existence ... Discouraging creativity To aim for empty ambitions Living up to other's expectations Takes hold of your assiduity Mentally murdered! The will to succeed Overpowers the will to resist Mentally murdered! Always up to the mark Set the wheels in motion A fake sense of security From your invariable position Sinking in the crowd A face minus expression A mouth that echoes words Recycled from tradition Your only contentness Is living in a lie Mentally murdered! Do you possess the strength To re-create your own life? Mentally murdered? Walls of Confinement Before my eyes I see a wall 12,000 miles high And the same amount wide Within that wall are faces Of people To whom I could once relate Now communication seems hard When there's an ego barrier to break through Opinions of self opinion Cloud a new horison The vision a mere illusion Blased in conclusion Trapped in seclusion To the outside - exclusion When an attitude is so biassed What can you expect to change? Banging your head But the walls are not moving It's enclosing Burning so much energy Enthusiasm burning Is change the 'real' obsession? Or with a sense of pretention, Do you merely strive for credible attention??? Cause and Effect What are your motives For your abuse What can they be? Accused of things I've never done This seems strange Your motivation, for my humiliation I'm pressurised So many times By your presence Your very existance Has become my obsession My infatuation with your damnation I experience Dangerous thoughts That are all too real How can one man Inflict in me So much hate My obsession with your destruction No Mental Efford So we're still in our teething stages As far as politics are concerned That's fine coming from someone To whom sensationalism be their only wisdom in words A self-proclaimed spokesman On something to which prior knowledge excedes Championing no more censorship Then ridiculing our beliefs To appeal to our better nature Are we to keep our mouths shut? Easy to discard Constructive power At your disposal When egos and sales Outbalance opinions On the scales Using bands As pawns in your hands Building up Knocking down Sensationalise To suit cheap public demand Merging with the gutter press You claim to detest It's opened it's lid For you to crawl in and infest Multinational Corporations Multi-National Corporations Genocide of the starving nations Re-Adress the Problem Drawing attention to yourself At anothers expence Your puritan stance Carries a certain pretence When an ego is at stake There's always a point to make Bigotted and self opinionated There is no give and take Obsessed with changing the world Not in changing yuorself Changing Colours Adapting to different surroundings Changing views day by day Too critical of others When you too are at fault Several sets of opinions Like colours to camouflage yourself Like a fox sly in your manoeuvres Too soon you'll get caught unawares Sometimes I feel pity Sometimes I feel hatred ... Sometimes you're my friend Sometimes you're my enemy I'll never give you the satisfaction Of knowing how I feel From the ashes So much bitterness In this so called scene Self righteous `leaders' With their own little dream Walls of confimement Don't stray too far Evicted for maturind Whilst they stagnate Understanding Is anger always a positive reaction? Is understanding often subdued by emotion? Stalemate On the path to individual freedom I'm met with countless obstructions An external vacuum distorts my observance Sucking me into the rat race A weakness makes me gullible Constantly lured into their traps Dismantling my motivation Taking my destination to another step back
