Iced Earth - Dystopia

Enter the nightmare
This future does implore
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 control

Planned out through centuries
Patient and contrived
Played on man's naivety
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 the end of time
A spirit born free has to break these chains
We're lost, we must find our way
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 the end of time
A spirit born free has to break these chains
We're lost, we must find our way

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