lyrics
(Spoken)
Those who speak out against the system, will be silenced. Financially, intellectually, and possibly physically.
Just take a look at the new road to freedom we designed
So long as you tow the one true party line
Your feedback was received and placed in the circular file
Your vote is duly noted
No, not this time
No, no more lies
Is this what you want?
Where do we come from?
Standing strong, we see it all
Turn to dust, the empire falls
Standing strong, breaking free
Down with your ideology
(spoken)
For those in charge, their salleries, policies and laws go unchallenged. They are beyond the law, for they are the law. There is no opposition.
You can not leave, you can't complain or mock the super state
Your protests smothered by yards and yards of red duct tape
We spread the wealth from your pockets to our bank accounts
The more you give, the less you get, and there's no getting out
No, not this time
No, no more lies
Is this what you want?
Where do we come from?
Standing strong, we see it all
Turn to dust, the empire falls
Standing strong, breaking free
Down with your ideology
(spoken)
Their only Achilles' heel, is that if they fail to continue growing, they will fall. It is their fear of this, which makes them so dangerous.
It's time for change
Don't let your pride be erased
Speak now
While you still remember how
(Spoken)
ID cards must be carried at all times. One more nail in the coffin of liberty. It's easy to lose ones freedom, but very hard to get it back.
It's time for change
Don't let your pride be erased
Speak now
While you still remember how
It's time for change
Don't let your name be erased
Speak now
While you still remember how
(Spoken)
And it was for words such as these, that Vladimir Bukowski was subjected to years of psychiatric abuse and imprisonment. ... Well, what did you think we were talking about? ... It's easily done.)

Absolutely hooked on this album from first listen. How rare is that with prog!??? Excellent songwriting and musicianship. Can’t wait to dive into the rest of the collection. Thomas Lock
