Lyrics

They won’t let us truly live
For they are desperate to keep us down
They can feel inside their time is almost ending

Serving their whole lives, they are loyal to a system which
Was built on countless lies
And we’re asked to close our eyes
And we’re asked to close our eyes
And we’re asked to close our minds

All these years of these fears are falling away
I can’t say that one day if that I’ll be dismayed
I’ll follow you, I’ll see it through
By the pain of our nation’s youth

Lyrics

I hate you all
You f***ing cowards
Why don’t you go
Do something worthwhile
You fight a plant
And ruin me
While all the rapists
They will run free

Nation of hate
Land of tyranny
All the f***ing pigs
Control everything

Free your mind
While you’re in chains
I wish the leaders
Would get some brains

What is?

Times are lookin’ tough, you gotta stop, take a long had look upon yourself
’cause you’ve been had by the powers that be, and think that only God will set you free
So stop reading Alex Jones all night, and take a look outside your window at the ground
And realize that your demise ignores that chances their that will be found

We lived to see the darkness
They claimed it was long left behind

To withstand and behold by the blind

They’ll Come For You: Song by Reenchantment

Sat, 04 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Description

This is one of the best examples of my acoustic rock songwriting. The Mermaid Version ended up capturing my sound in the most accurate way, although the last minute of the Pilgrimage Version is also interesting because is revealed how Aaron and I would sound with a more radio friendly approach. I did struggle with my vocals on that day though.

The song discusses the way we are unconsciously shaped by social conditioning.

Lyrics

Dr. Timothy Leary:
They came to Socrates and said
Stop saying that Socrates
You’re corrupting the mind of youth

There is no self
There is no knowledge
Obey
Believe

Socrates would not be stopped
He said know thyself
Operate your brain

Lyrics

I have seen things with my own eyes
The perpetrators of which deserve to die
Your worst enemy will seem so kind
But say and do anything, now that they
They’ve sold their minds
Yeah
