Lyrics

[00:03.37]
[00:24.79] Born from some mothers womb
[00:29.03] Just like any other room.
[00:30.84]
[00:32.46] Made a promise for a new life.
[00:34.33]
[00:35.96] Made a victim out of your life.
[00:38.45] When your times on the door
[00:40.20] And it drips to the floor
[00:41.76] And you feel you can touch
[00:43.44] All the noise is too much
[00:45.21] And the seeds that are sown
[00:46.89] Are no longer your own.
[00:49.14]
[00:52.82] Just a minor operation
[00:54.44]
[00:55.94] To force a final ultimatum.
[00:58.37]
[00:59.62] Thousand words are spoken loud
[01:01.24]
[01:02.99] Reach the dumb to fool the crowd.
[01:05.11]
[01:05.67] When you walk down the street
[01:07.48] And the sounds not so sweet
[01:09.10] And you wish you could hide
[01:10.73] Maybe go for a ride
[01:12.41] To some peep show arcade
[01:14.10] Where the futures not made.
[01:16.47]
[01:20.15] A nightmare situation
[01:21.64]
[01:23.32] Infiltrate imagination
[01:25.13]
[01:26.75] Smacks of past holy wars
[01:30.06] By the wall with broken laws.
[01:31.87]
[01:35.61] The leaders of men
[01:37.11]
[01:38.92] Born out of your frustration.
[01:40.61]
[01:42.29] The leaders of men
[01:43.54]
[01:45.60] Just a strange infatuation.
[01:49.23] The leaders of men
[01:50.54]
[01:52.41] Made a promise for a new life.
[01:54.47]
[02:01.28] No saviour for our sakes
[02:03.09]
[02:04.29] To twist the internees of hate
[02:06.16]
[02:07.92] Self induced manipulation
[02:09.92]
[02:11.17] To crush all thoughts of mass salvation.
