Engraving Ecstasy

Enslave!

Born into a world of monotony
Shielded from all deviation
Bound by the shackles of fate

To resume all obligations put forth
Led fiercely along a blackened tunnel
With the light at the end, seeming so absolute
All other routes are blocked that escalate the track
Just follow the paragon and don't look back!

Emerging from the light to realize the euphoria
Aeons of deliberation, hoping to be true
Devoting all to the promised life, but the future is distorted

No time for Judgment-it (was now or never)
They make us make haste (yet will not conclude)
Total deadlock (for the future sought)
No logic, no reason (just ride the onslaught-laught-laught)

Observing the peers (emulating their ways)
Wearing them down (the spirit decays)
Tolerating the act
To get through the fray, just do what they do, not what they say

Forced on their production line-moulded, shaped and formed
Scare tactics used to put off any second thoughts
An archetype for greed
The evidence manifests their will, disguised with false freedom

Deciphering the clues, no practical reason to comprehend
Assured by the tyrants, "there will be a means to an end"
A chain gang of fools is all that is to be seen
Living out a sentence for another selfish being

Stamping out the dreams, engraving the mind
Playing out the myth, forever running blind
The failure of the scrutiny shall result in everlasting misery

Betrayed!
