Imperium of Waste

I can't believe you chose to be
This paranoid shell of a citizen
Compliant to authority 
And demands of fear and war

Did you choose to pimp
What could be left
In your heart
To the annihilation of love
And change in time
Love and change in time

Where's the reason?
Where's the liberty?
Do we tie ourselves to this game 
Of fear or our false idea of power? 
Whispered in the ear 
Are you sleeping? 
Are you waiting for some compromise? 
Is their vision hidden in our eyes? 

Hidden in our eyes 

Do you ask yourself in dreams 
And in the dying hours of working days
What does this system want from me?
It's no surprise they try to take 
Over our actions and our anger
With each fashion cult on the hanger
Sacred distractions 
But we can only fool ourselves
For so long ...

Where's the reason?
Where's the liberty?
Do we tie ourselves to this game 
Of fear or our false idea of power? 
Whispered in the ear 
Are you sleeping? 
Are you waiting for some compromise? 
Is their longing hidden in our eyes? 
 
There is a pulse beating under this life
Under this life 
Our Generation  
Suffocation
First world 
Minute to hour
Oil tanker and tower
I won't detonate this minefield
For your false idea of power

Where's the reason?
Where's the liberty?
Do we tie ourselves to this game 
Of fear or our false idea of power? 
Whispered in the ear 
Are you sleeping? 
Are you waiting for some compromise? 
Is their vision hidden in our eyes?
