In Absence of Liberty

Forced allegiance sheltering weak minds Breed complacency to subjugate life Brainwashed puppets to spur the machine A black tomorrow is the utopian dream None more enslaved than those who trust that they are free False preconceptions destroying identity To take authority as unquestioned truth Forsaking liberty for archaic sanctuary Our leaders trapped us in despair What's inside no longer cares As the forced religions rupture into war What's left now is humanity But humane it ceased to be As our liberty distorted by their lies A world held hostage to its god Ever searching for reprieve Expendable to the machine Trapped completely cannot leave Broken now, the system is flawed Only those with power see the reward Majority who slave away Just wait in vain and pray for a better day Our leaders trapped us in despair What's inside no longer cares As the forced religions rupture into war What's left now is humanity But humane it ceased to be As our liberty distorted by their lies
