This is the second single off our forthcoming full length album 'Manifesto'
lyrics
Join us as we journey through the age of suffering, where big brother watches through every telescreen Pulling all the strings, controlling everything, leading us with fear, driving us with hate
Surrounded by a 24 hour stream of violence as we celebrate, the death of our enemies. Consumed with hatred
Oh what a sight to see, our worst fears come true in display before thee, oh what a sight to see our existence is condemned and our spirits have been broken the worst crimes committed are the thoughts we have constructed
We are the children builders of the future and we the children swear to thee our dying devotion fearless devotion and to die with dignity
Consumed with hatred this is all we live for
Consumed with hatred this is what we die for
Down here on Victory Square this is all that we live for
Down here on Victory Square, this is what? (what we die for)
(They scream the names )
(They scream the names of their enemies)
(They Crave the blood)
They Crave the blood of the innocent, oh
Surrender your consciousness to the will of big brother
No private loyalties, no trust in one another
We are the ones who are trapped forever in a nightmare in which we are always hiding from the truth. For fear that we might be sent to victory square
We are complicit in the bloodshed, we stand and watch as our comrades fall
We'll be erased from history, no one will ever know we even lived at all.
There is truth and there is untruth its written all over our faces we are the children builders of the future and we the children swear to thee undying devotion fearless devotion and to die with dignity
We are the children; builders of the future and we
swear to thee, one more false move and you’ll invoke the thought police
Anyone of us could become the next target, all it takes is one look at our faces. Imitate, simulate, demonstrate that you are irate (towards the enemy) What it takes to stay alive, to survive, is to learn how to hide (Our faces).Well live in fear for the rest of our days, knowing one day we’ll all be erased.
