Living In Silent Fear
The absent minded, the fools, the liars
Filtering all things of what we're fed
Tortured without sense behind desks conspired
Checks are bouncing off the chest of the dead
Thoughts are no longer your own to think
Placed by weapons using silent electronics
The edge where everyone stands on the brink
Looking down, eyes vacant, mind hypnotic
Control is the aim of what's controllable
Those who stand against are delivered their fate
Pawns being misled like cattle it's horrible
To feed Queen Bee and her totalitarian state
Blind those follow not living their own lives
Carrying out deeds masked by puppet strings
Just another worker bee in the Queens hives
Struggling to carry the load on broken wings
