The Auric Design - Hive Mind Lyrics

Locked in a swarm of hands they held up to our ears
Calloused with fear and afraid to trade power for peace
Within a system that feeds their deceit
They prey on the weak
Their voices raised
And their fingers positioned
A smile on their face as they pass out affliction
Violence as the lesser is scorned
The follower is praised if they worship the war
I disconnected from the hive mind
Before it pulled me inside it's control
Behind their front of aversion
Spirits too blind to see the ghost in our souls
I still seek a higher place
One devoid of illusion
Feeling the weight of my silence that pulls me down
The comfort in conformity made no sound
I won't be hung by the iron strings of man-kind
Every word fired from your mouth has withered
Only the ruins remain
Perception of knowledge and vision
Force fed from birth
No decision
Feeling the weight of my silence that pulls me down
The comfort in conformity made no sound
I won't be hung by the iron strings
I disconnected from the hive mind
Before it pulled me inside
I refused to suffer and bow my head in disguise
Puppets
Bound by cords and threads to a spiritual world
Separate the ties
Fall into the unknown
