Threshold - Return of the Thought Police lyrics

From a room in a house on a hill The world can change on the turn of a will Ooh, there's no need to remind us Ooh, you're k**ing us with kindness On the left On the left On the left A desolate horizon On the right On the right On the right A destiny is rising We forget We forget We forget The signs and implications We deny We deny We deny Our final condemnation From the dust of oppression and foes We have risen from our chains Now the rust of complacency grows As we give it all away How did our conscience get so seared That we could all stand by As victory disappears before your eyes? We can fight against corruption We can stand for what is true But we fall when we surrender To the corporation view And our faith can only offer What we faithfully pursue I promise you, I promise you On the left On the left On the left Apostasy has spoken On the right On the right On the right Our promises are broken All the things we believe in and know Fall like targets in a war All the thoughts we were thinking long ago Have become unthinkable How did our conscience get so seared That we could all stand by As history disappears before your eyes? We can fight against corruption We can stand for what is true But we fall when we surrender To the corporation view And our faith can only offer What we faithfully pursue I promise you, I promise you It's a silent revolution as so thoughtfully We're persuaded 'til we're crushed and jaded Feigning ignorance, faking innocence To belie our inner voice They shoot us with ideology, k** with policy So protection overrides objection Contemplation a violation 'Til the memory of freedom is gone 'Til the memory of freedom is gone We can fight against corruption We can stand for what is true But we fall when we surrender To the corporation view And our faith can only offer What we faithfully pursue I promise you, I promise you We can fight against corruption We can stand for what is true But we fall when we surrender To the corporation view And our faith can only offer What we faithfully pursue I promise you, I promise you
