[Eftichiou / Carawana / Burke / Hughes / Sly] [Narration written and spoken by Steve Sly] The year 2018 Life as we know it destroyed through ignorance Life unsustainable outside of the sterile City limits Your every breath and movement monitored Violence and crime will not be tolerated Your first mistake will be your last You are now entering Sector One Please insert your life control card S129434 You have sinned against your own people on Central City Now you must pay the ultimate price: your access denied... Blazing arid wasteland, motionless distress As a red synthetic sunrise distorts the naturalness Summoned by the signal, nature's only point of view As the system of the new world begins for those who do No need for the seasons, destroyed inevitably Eternal burning winter divorced the other three Living under shelter, our existence doesn't change To the regulated programme that's too dangerous to tame Condemned to life, where you don't even die Condemned to life, where emotion denied Condemned to life, where you can't even ask why Your condemned where it's access denied No escape, there is no other side Access denied, request denied Monitor systems check emotion control No room for resistance Access denied, request denied A digital readout shows the meaningless time You may never speak out Your condemned where it's access denied No escape, there is no other side Access denied, request denied The silence that was louder now shattered by alarm Shows a frenzy of obedience of safe but sterile charm Blue and pink in sectors, unite but rarely meet Just a basis for production, so that logic is complete No need for a**essment, do just what you do Your emotions are illegal in this electronic womb No chance for a rebirth, no chance to decide Can we trust ourselves to run us if emotion is denied? Condemned to life, where you don't even die Condemned to life, where emotion denied Condemned to life, where you can't even ask why Your condemned where it's access denied No escape, there is no other side Access denied, request denied Sector One, it's our world, why let it die? Sub-divided, by nature can we ever decide? Nature's orders, pre-programmed through mother earth Man's existence, decided through science and thought Can't monitor emotion, can we limit control? Can't resist our own destruction Our reactional readout shows the means to the time Why did we leave it so late to speak out? No escape from a world of emotionless machines Can't speak out, no logical point of view Access denied, request denied Life control by number, not a name Access denied, time's running out for you Access denied Access denied Access denied, access denied
