Текст песни Dystopia (A Narrative Soundscape) - Iced Earth

Enter the nightmare
This future does implode
A techno city-state
A prison, nothing more
Rounded up like cattle
You're forced into the trains
Nothing that you've ever known
Will bring you so much pain

If you try to resist me
You'll find me inhumane
But if you just submit
You'll live your life a slave
You'll love your servitude
We'll medicate your pain
With our technology
We'll always keep you safe

Micro-chipped like dogs
Their thoughts are not their own
All that's left of human kind
Is now in their kind
Planned out through centuries
Patient and contrived
Played on man's naiveté
Gullible and blind

If you try to resist me
You'll find me inhumane
But if you just submit
You'll live your life a slave
You'll love your servitude
We'll medicate your pain
With our technology
We'll always keep you safe

The nightmare unfolds before my eyes
I will resist 'til end of time
A spirit born free
Has to break these chains
We're lost, we must find our way
We'll find our way!

They say that you're a danger
To everything that's pure
There are too many of you
They're offering the cure
Swift extermination
If you refuse the game
Arrested development
Your vaccinated fate

If you try to resist me
You'll find me inhumane
But if you just submit
You'll live your life a slave
You'll love your servitude
We'll medicate your pain
With our technology
We'll always keep you safe

The nightmare unfolds before my eyes
I will resist 'til end of time
A spirit born free
Has to break these chains
We're lost, we must find our way
We'll find our way!
