Lyrics Iced Earth – Dystopia
Text:
Enter the nightmare
This future does implode
A techno city-state
A prison, nothing more
You’re forced into the trains
Nothing that you’ve ever known
Will bring you so much pain
Pre-chorus
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 control
Planned out through centuries
Patient and contrived
Played on man’s naiveté
Gullible and blind
Pre-chorus
If you try to resist me
You’ll find me inhumane
But if you just submit
You’ll live your life a slave
We’ll medicate your pain
With our technology
We’ll always keep you safe
Chorus
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
Pre-chorus
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
Chorus
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!
