The Inner Voice Silenced Lyrics - Steel Prophet

Dawning is now a predicted age 

We're overpopulated rats in a cage 

Slowly our freedom begins to erode 

Governmental hypocrisy is bestowed 

It is often said art imitates life 

It seems now we're denied that right 

Only confined to what they want us to see 

They mold our minds to how they want us to be 

Limited creations a fragment of the whole 

Stifled expressions the truth untold 

Freedom of religion, freedom of speech 

So it is written, so practice what you preach 

Contradicting our beginning they disregard the law 

Exploiting all the violence as people watch in awe 

Preference of eroticism 

For individual taste 

If you don't like what you see 

Then get the hell out of their space 

Declaring art obscenity they exclude you from their race 

Slander you in the media they label you disgraced 

Indifferences in all of us and intercrossing paths 

Segregated by bigotry evolutions final wrath 

[chorus] 

Do you believe we're really free 

If we can't reflect the world we see 

Reality only black and white 

Does freedom lie between wrong and right 

Who decides what laws will change 

Will liberty and justice still remain 

If this is what the future shows 

We'll all be slaves of mind control 

Has America begun to weaken 

Or revolution began to awaken 

How can you blame us for being defiant 

When our inner voice is silenced 

[repeat chorus] 

I don't know what this transposes in reverse 

And if an evil word appears it's not intentional 

Record our political leaders 

And study their subliminal hates 

Censor my words, censor their schemes 

They drove me to suicide 

(society shall sue them) 

The media brainwashed me to love pursuit of things 

And not to trust my inner voice so absurd they still defiled 

Themselves and us by calling it the land of the 

Free and the home of the brave
