Dancers To A Discordant System - Live

Listen to the hidden tune
 The essence of lies in notes defined
 As we dance to the dissonant sway
 The choreography refined
 Will subdued and shackled
 Reason washed aside
 Pledging our love to the chains
 Our ignorance ever-amplified
 Bloodened hands lead the waltz
 We're trapped in the out of tune swirl
 Still we set the show on continue mode
 And dance to a discordant system
 We accept the nails we're fed
 Lies sharpened to bleed us silent
 Muted from the pains
 Defiance employed in vain
 Any attempts to leave the dance,
 Invisibly suppressed
 Questions unasked, we learn the steps
 Eyes shut like all the rest
 Unsuspecting, willing, blind, controllable herd
 Pawns in a covert game conducted by hands we trust
 Dominated, compliant and deceptable
 Confident that we matter - we don't see that we're but dust
 Committed to a lie we cannot see, cannot know nor comprehend
 We're all asinine drones kept in the dark, kept in line
 Confined, bereft of reason
 Withering in toxicity
 The deadly fumes of deceit
 And we all reek of complicity
 Humbled, brought to our knees
 By the weight of our own guilt
 Our nescient ways the catalyst
 To injustice and inhumanity
 We dance - to appease
 Compete in stupidity
 Obscured faces file our points
 Numbers fed to the machine
 Still we stand in line for the next show
 The human spine liquefied
 What are we, but stupefied
 Dancers to a discordant system
 We believe - so we're misled
 We assume - so we're played
 We confide - so we're deceived
 We trust - so we're betrayed
