Cathedral - Funeral of Dreams lyrics

As I walked through fields of innocence My dreams were distorted with no defense Earth's creatures beside me, what a joy to be Bright flowers, gay sunshine, sweet destiny Then one day scarecrow greeted me My mind began to see truths unfolding So I built - a house up in a tree To view reality & began observing From there I saw an abattoir for minds A system of lies man is enslaved in Murdered thoughts, human machinery In life's factory keep the wheels turning Now that the sun sets upon this magic land My eyes are wide open to the ill fate of man They put me in a place to educate Instead my mind was raped, not yet turned eight Stories of crucifixion and moral codes to live life by Force-fed lies, defiled, brainwashed and blind Then a priest with fire in his eyes Warned me of my demise if I stopped believing He said young man you'll burn in hell you see Christ is your sanctuary, so just be subservant Stand up and fight, defend your country Kiss feet of the elite and you shall inherit Your wealth up in the sky but first you have to die And live in poverty - keep the wheels turning Now that the sun sets upon this fated land My eyes are wide open to the ill deeds of man Where is this place, I once wondered free? A funeral of dreams became reality Grey concrete, human cage - society Joys butchered, blind envy, bleak destiny k**ing yourself to get by in this murdered world Words, music on black plastic; the truth! Black towers over you and me authority Destroy your will to be if you let them own you Reclaim your mind, view life through your own eyes You soon may realise your own true meaning f** their wars, religious lies and laws Guilt trips you're not the cause, don't just accept them A life of misery they want for you and me Just drink and be merry - stop the wheels turning Now that the sun sets upon this magic land My eyes are wide open to the ill fate of man
