Opiate Of The Masses Lyrics - Victims Of Deception - Heathen

[Altus/White] 

The future is scarred by the bloodstained past 

Haunted by disgrace 

Holy wars that are never ending 

Forever fight of faith 

Don't accuse these meaningless symbols 

Created by mankind 

Will they recognize their own creation? 

Can they be so blind?

Fools manipulating all they see 

Cruel as the world can be 

Cries of pain as the tortured souls 

whither away into the dust 

Power is the fix 

And man is drawn to it 

The illness and the lies 

The virus never dies 

To captivate the minds of the masses 

Tell them what they want to hear 

And for those who will oppose you 

They will live in fear 

Domination your favorite sensation 

Operated by remote control 

In your hands are the lives of the helpless 

Their fate they'll never know 

Photos 

Fools manipulating all they see 

Cruel as the world can be 

Cries of pain as the tortured souls 

Whither away into the dust 

Power is the fix 

And man is drawn to it 

No matter the cost of what's won or lost 

Addiction planted the seed 

That sprouted the tree of greed 

The illness and the lies 

The virus never dies 

Control your own destiny 

Get rid of insecurity 

There's little truth in what they say 

Don't let 'em steal your life away 

Power 

To this world brings death and destruction 

Leaving the earth in decay 

Money 

Breeds organized crime and corruption 

Who says that crime doesn't pay? 

Greed The green-seeking virus that spreads 

And manifests your selfish needs 

Spreading the addiction 

Man's own contradiction 

When it's themselves that they deceive
