How free a man should be in a city of glass How circumspect we are When the privacy is out of sight We've lived through hell obediently Followed the dream of paradise With time we gave up hope But striving to survive one needs to adapt Upon entry to rule He delved into the mass fear of the unknown And rode this wave until he gained total control Then seized the souls Seized the minds Destroyed millions of lives He pushed the world to the breaking point To let it drift much farther after he died In the course of time Our little Eden grew ever bigger And more perfect Once the dream he had became reality Millennium way came to a dead end In the course of time Our little Eden grew ever bigger And more perfect Once the dream he had became reality Millennium way came to a halt What dream a man should dream Inside a cage of his mind What role he's bound to play In the thousand year plan A man never believes when he’s told That he's about to be destroyed Long queues were formed To treat the ones Not willing to follow the road What dreams may come and stay Take over your world These dreams are living hell And we have gone much farther In the course of time Our little Eden grew ever bigger And more perfect Once the dream he had became reality Millennium way came to a dead end In the course of time Our little Eden grew ever bigger And more perfect Once the dream he had became reality Millennium way came to a halt For weary centuries suppressed Reduced and trodden Denied a human place Their hearts grew black And sick of fear and hate They sought no light Through scars and chains And missed the day For weary centuries suppressed Reduced and trodden Denied a human place Could it all be a bad dream or a nightmare? It's surreal, it's just not believable A grand absurdity A great deception A delusion of momentous proportions Based on preposterous notions and on ideas Whose time should never have come The philosophy that destroys us Is not even defined We have broken from reality A psychotic nation Insanity passed off as logic Slavery sold as liberty For weary centuries suppressed Reduced and trodden Denied a human place Their hearts grew black And sick of fear and hate They sought no light Through scars and chains And missed the day
