Steel Prophet - The Inner Voice Silenced lyrics

Dawning is now a predicted age

We're overpopulated rats in a cage

Slowly our freedom begins to erode

Governmental hypocrisy is bestowed

It is often said art imitates life

It seems now we're denied that right

Only confined to what they want us to see

They mold our minds to how they want us to be

Limited creations a fragment of the whole

Stifled expressions the truth untold

Freedom of religion, freedom of speech

So it is written, so practice what you preach

Contradicting our beginning they disregard the law

Exploiting all the violence as people watch in awe

Preference of eroticism

For individual taste

If you don't like what you see

Then get the hell out of their space

Declaring art obscenity they exclude you from their race

Slander you in the media they label you disgraced

Indifferences in all of us and intercrossing paths

Segregated by bigotry evolutions final wrath

[chorus]

Do you believe we're really free

If we can't reflect the world we see

Reality only black and white

Does freedom lie between wrong and right

Who decides what laws will change

Will liberty and justice still remain

If this is what the future shows

We'll all be slaves of mind control

Has America begun to weaken

Or revolution began to awaken

How can you blame us for being defiant

When our inner voice is silenced

[repeat chorus]

I don't know what this transposes in reverse

And if an evil word appears it's not intentional

Record our political leaders

And study their subliminal hates

Censor my words, censor their schemes

They drove me to suicide

(society shall sue them)

The media brainwashed me to love pursuit of things

And not to trust my inner voice so absurd they still defiled

Themselves and us by calling it the land of the

Free and the home of the brave
