Grave New World Lyrics - Tankard

Melt to the beat of the drum 

Melt to be one, to be one 

What thou wer'st, what thou be 

Creature of the hatchery 

Not a man reeling free 

Bear this mark of destiny 

Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta 

Is the song that society sings 

Soma coma, fucking by numbers 

And consume as much as you can 

Free from love, free from hate 

Sterile and stable 

Urge and instinct channeling 

Feeling disabled 

Pour the genes into the mould 

Of what is needed 

Engineer conformity 

The pool is weeded 

[Chorus:] 

No more devils, no more heaven 

Grave new world 

Free and killing or bound and willing 

Slave or savage 

Dear the calm weighed in souls 

But the matter goes untold 

What was one man's alone 

Multiplies in wretched clones 

Endless columns, 

mother of sameness 

Breeding life in a clinical way 

Fear of flowers, learning and playing 

For the ones 

that are meant to be slaves 

Factoried, standardized 

Humans conditioned 

Play the part 

that they're ascribed 

No free decision 

No More doubt, no more quest 

Nothing but answers 

Whispered twenty million times 

Til all believe them 

[Chorus] 

We are clay in the hands 

Of those who make us 

In a vision not our own 

Blindfolded robots 

God is dead, man is god 

Above his fellow 

Nothing here's an accident 

But you will not know 

[Chorus]
