Utopia Banished Complete Lyrics

Christening of the Blind Lyrics

4 ContributorsChristening of the Blind LyricsInbred expectations in a belt of social security
Free thought demolished
Generations, of stereotypes clash
Traditional values abolished
 
Outcries from the blind converted
Mentally shocked
 
Their forcified vision shies away from reality
Finally blocked
 
Majority overweigh the scales of balance
Secrets hidden
Sin after sin in their eyes
Majority overweigh the scales of balance
Secrets hidden
Sin after sin in their eyes
 
Understanding is now too late
Utopia is banished
The very morals trusted in have brought demise
 
Religion, love, compassion
Confuse the truth with lies
 
Traditions to be changed? Accept the inevitable?
 
 
Forge the narrow-mindedness to create a new paradise

The World Keeps Turning Lyrics

2 ContributorsThe World Keeps Turning LyricsNo way forward or back
In stalemate, we stagnate
Life cycle is an automation
Instinctively, we race to get ahead?
 
And now our virgin minds are raped
Another insignficance to join the rat-race
 
Self-indulgence with our grasp
We're taught but torn (from) the sanctity of life
So vulnerable
The world keeps turning -
We spin out of control
 
Guided, or could this mean misguided
No time for questions
Preoccupied with pressing on
The world keeps turning -
We overdose on overdrive
 
Superior species with inferior ideas
We overload our bodies and minds
Respect this earth while committing suicide
 
Poison trait
We're the cause, not the cure
Our methods of fulfillment will surely drag us down
 
 
Guided, or could this mean misguided
Our virgin minds are raped -
The world keeps turning -
We overdose on overdrive, we spin out of control
In stalemate, we stagnate

Judicial Slime Lyrics

2 ContributorsJudicial Slime LyricsTaste me
You made me what I am
Mind-polluting worthless fuck
 
Am I the mental feast?
Bruised and scarred
The underdog
 
A pawn within a loser's game
My strength will grow upon your fear
 
Slime
In time you'll face your end line
Judge me not before yourself
Breed
Take my pride - that's all you can
Hatred surges burning me
 
Feed
For what atonement do you seek?
Your dying grasp of loyalty breaks like brittle bones
 
Forgotten past
I stand condemned
For I am more powerful than you'd imagine

Distorting the Medium Lyrics

4 ContributorsDistorting the Medium LyricsSaturating, pre-assuming icon of the youth
Ways and means to call the shots
Fingers in the pies which resign us from vacant urges
Facing the bombardment - no escape!
 
Stick your intentions!
Parade of puppets
Stickly sweet - you stink of vulgarity!
 
Sacrifice the faculties
All you've achieved is synthetic scenes
 
Next step is to gain approval from those who ignore
Those who recognise the charade
To fabricate alternatives designed to be expensive
In hand with the regular facade
 
Acquire acclaim with plastic actions
Sickly sweet - you stink of vulgarity!
 
Sacrifice the faculties
All you've achieved is synthetic scenes
 
Fit into the cliche
A legend in your own brain
Bigoted, motivated only for prestige
 
 
A mask for your inadequacy
 
Preshaping to what's required for slick commerciality
Censored for subversion
Redundant machine
 
Don't let them mould your identity

Got Time to Kill Lyrics

4 ContributorsGot Time to Kill LyricsSometimes I wallow, in an air
Somewhere between a state of good intention and pathos - no worries!
 
I've got time to kill!
 
Wear my bleeding heart on a discerning sleeve
The mind is there but the spirit's weak - time to worry!
 
When the time is killing concern
Presumption, an assumption
Redemption - unsolved
 
Riding on the perseverance of others with armchair ideology
 
I'm a link in a chain of strength
Destructive inner fatigue corroding our effectiveness
 
Got to kick myself into gear
Instead of shrinking from activity
 
I've got time to kill my concern!

Upward and Uninterested Lyrics

3 ContributorsUpward and Uninterested LyricsGot to grab all while you can - a perversion!
 
Once you had the gall to even up the score
Moving in common circles
Where the circles stood for human bonds
 
The tide has turned, allegiance tested
Upward and uninterested
 
Beforehand, adamant and strong
Prosperity could not transform
Snort the drug, gather the assets
Step on the head of the drowning man
 
The tide has turned, allegiance tested
Upward and uninterested
 
Hailed a saviour as enterprise succeeds
Your obsession overrides
Where once you fought to stop the trap enclosing
Now you lay the bait
 
Speculate, capitalize
Words that distort to promote financial genocide
Ideals for trade, respect invested
Upward and uninterested
 
 
Got to grab all while you can - a perversion!
