Electric Red Lyrics - Obzen - Meshuggah

Humanity peeled from our bones 

Deprived of integuments that make us real 

Shadows of flesh to maintain the system 

Our own blood splashes as we kneel 

So meticulously machined 

Into these obedient devices 

Puppets, fine-tuned submissive drones 

Replicas of each other, clones 

We're dormant accumulations of flesh 

In a crimson filtered twilight 

Mute witnesses to the game 

Wrenches to keep the bolts of lies tight 

We're the fabric concealing the stains, 

The red tainted existence 

The gullibles to bless your sins away 

Rags to wipe your blooded trails 

We give in to the atrophy, 

To the twining of self-thought knowledge 

The purpose of the human mind reviled 

Everlasting ignorance realized 

The scarlet flood inundates our powerless thoughts 

Defenseless minds with lies overfed 

Every thought stained, defiled 

Painted the color, the shade of electric red
