The Lies That Bind Lyrics - Misery Index

Rising from the tide 

a Kraken cloaked in wisdom 

propogates his lies 

for love of living death... 

As faith in leaders falter and dole-queues stretch for snake-like miles 

Untruths in unwritten law annihilate imagination 

Hope becomes a process 

The intravenous feed 

That's bound in tune with 'progress' - in dialectic comedy 

More demagogues emerging 

The paradise parade begins 

where everything is perfect and 'tim' is all we need to save 

And just as oceans swallow all ships that sink in time 

This spectacle will crumble from false and ill conceived design. 

These fragile frames are breaking 

And knots will soon come undone 

The bloody fields of history have yet another war to come 

As chants turn into anthems and shouts turn into battle cries 

The statues of their heroes gone crack and yield to newborn human lives. 

Tired of marching to their tune in time 

The gears of oppression have ceased 

No light at the end off the production line- show us that this life's worth 

living 

Books are burning in the night 

As conciousness is laid to rest 

Another dream falls out of sight...and what have we to show for this?
