[Verse]
Herd the sheep
To greener pastures
Do we know
Who holds the leash
When friend and foe
Become intertwined
The foolish lead the blind
Our fates inside
The old clocks hands
Are we cast aside
One moment
We're reality
The next we're left to die
[Bridge]
And we're left to die
Psycological atrophy
We are not free
Just roaming the path of lies
[Verse]
Skies are traced
With metal towers
And they grow
Above our heads
Inanimate walls
Will defend their lies
To keep us out of reach
They observe
The movement below
Like a game of chess
With pawns
Every move could be disaster
A tragedy we know
[Bridge]
A tragedy we know
A maniacal heirachy
We are not free
Just stretching the leash to size
[Pre-Chorus]
We will define
All we see
Intrepid minds
Will find this empathy
Although
Everything we know
Is lost to them now
[Chorus]
Time sets us free
Our solace had become the seed
As our past relations
Motivates our stride
But I will believe
Our hearts rebel to their deceit
They can have our bodies
But they won't take our minds
[LEFT whispering:]
The powers of man have
Fallen to the highest bidder
In an effort to disable
The resistance
They have placed the laws around us
And on us so that an uprising
Is a thing of the past
A thing too far fetched
To even be conceived in the minds of the willing
[RIGHT whispering:]
For centuries the unethical conduct
Of government stated to uphold law and order
Has been set in place to deceive
And stunt the growth of our youth
And cloud the minds of our elders
We look on through the eyes of solace
[Bridge 2x]
Look in our eyes
All the pain we hold
Is their design
Look in our eyes
Watch our paths align
[Chorus]
Time sets us free
Our solace had become the seed
As our past relations
Motivates our stride
But I will believe
Our hearts rebel to their deceit
They can have our bodies
But they won't take our minds
