From the recording Extermination
Lyrics
Disaster Cycle - Extermination
A cage without bars
It tightens each day
No locks to be seen
It keeps us at bay
The whispers are loud
They echo and sway
Freedom fades
Like a ghost
In the gray
Chains of the mind
Unseen but they bind
A freedom once ours
Now left behind
They take what we dream
They silence the scream
Chains of the mind
We're losing the gleam
The gleam
Losing the gleam
Words are now weapons
Don’t dare to speak
Thoughts are now crimes
The future looks bleak
They color the skies
The rain feels so weak
We’ve traded our roar
For muted critique
Do you remember
Do you recall
When our voices
Were louder than the tallest wall
Chains of the mind
Unseen but they bind
A freedom once ours
Now left behind
They take what we dream
They silence the scream
Chains of the mind
We're losing the gleam
Clock keeps ticking
Mask starts to crack
They hold all the power
We want it back
Spark in the shadows
Flame in the black
Tiny echo remains
Through rusted chains
Chains of the mind
Unseen but they bind
A freedom once ours
Now left behind
They take what we dream
They silence the scream
Chains of the mind
We're losing the gleam
Freedom faded
Out of sight
Who will stand
Who will
Fight!
Break the grasp upon your mind.
Fight!
Take back what's been ripped away.
Sometimes when you look around
You don't know what your seein
But if you really look, I mean really look
You'll see There is hope around every corner
Don't let it fade away, hold on to that
Fight the extermination
