Meshuggah - Violent Sleep Of Reason lyrics

A systematically applied veil to heedless eyes Focus deflected, ignore This is not our war Bury the abject shame in the same bile as our ideals The potent lubricant to deceits grinding wheels The menacing implications, the violent sleep of reason Betrayal we all help sustain Humanitarian treason This deadly inclination, this forfeiture of innocence The sacrifice of guiltless souls for our own deliverance The pain you feel Indifference thrust into your back Forged from our ignorance from our immorality A parody, this mockery To no avail you kneel before this our insanity Another life condemned Your fate sealed the second you came to exist Your suffering non-essential for we care not if you subsist We will all belie ang allusion, any crime Cower and hide any culpability denied All will imply it's an illusion, a fallacy So when you die, remember we said it's not reality
