9. Dancers To A Discordant System (исполнитель: Meshuggah [ObZen])
[Lyrics: Tomas Haake, Music: Fredrik Thordendal] Listen to the hidden tune - The essence of lies in notes defined As we dance to the dissonant sway - The choreography refined Will subdued and shackled Reason washed aside Pledging our love to the chains Our ignorance ever-amplified Blooded hands lead the waltz We're trapped in the out of tune swirl Still we set the show on continue mode And dance to a discordant system We accept the nails we're fed - Lies sharpened to bleed us silent Muted from the pains Defiance employed in vain Any attempts to leave the dance, Invisibly suppressed Questions unasked, we learn learn the steps - Eyes shut like all the rest Unsuspecting, willing, blind, controllable herd Pawns in a covert game conducted by hands we [bad word] [bad word] and deceptable Confident that we matter - we don't see that we're but dust [bad word] to a lie we cannot see, cannot know [bad word] We're all asinine drones kept in the dark, kept in line Confined, Bereft of reason Withering in toxicity - The deadly fumes of deceit And we all reek [bad word] Humbled, brought to our knees By the weight of our own guilt Our nescient ways the catalyst To injustice and inhumanity We dance - to [bad word] in stupidity Obscured faces file our points - Numbers fed to the machine Still we stand in line for the next show The human spine liquefied What are we, but stupefied Dancers to a discordant system We believe - so we're misled We assume - so we're played We confide - so we're deceived We [bad word] - so we're betrayed
