Bend From the Fold
Keep your wishes unspoken
Let your dreams dissolve in the morning light
Beware of your thoughts
Make sure your words are correct
Feelings of others outweigh your tripe liberties
You can only save the world by being the same
Oneness of life and purity of visions
Mock and hate any individual danger
Shutdown voices with alternate views
Saftey is the warmth of likeness
Comfort is the joy of conformity
All alike and equal in outcome
Beleive is you are taught
Be as you are told
All is planned
For peace
For better
For the common good...
The lost lamb has strayed from the flock
A shepherd returns her to the fold
She tells the other sheep of her freedom
Running free with the wild goats
That shepherd grabs her
And slits her throat
Dresses her carcass for the evening meal
This was the one to kill
Her will was too strong
Never stray from the flock
Never bend from the fold
