[Verse 1]
Ab5
Listen to the hidden tune
The essence of lies in notes defined
As we dance to the dissonant sway
The choreography refined
Will subdued and shackled
Reason washed aside
Pledging our love to the chains
Our ignorance everamplified

[Break]
Bb5
Bloodened hands lead the waltz
We're trapped in the outoftune swirl
Still we set the show on continue mode
And dance to a discordant system

[Verse 2]
Ab5
We accept the nails we're fed
Lies sharpened to bleed us silent
Muted from the pains
Defiance employed in vain
Any attempts to leave the dance
Invisibly suppressed
Questions unasked, we learn the steps
Eyes shut like all the rest
Unsuspecting, willing, blind,
controllable herd
Pawns in a covert game conducted by hands we trust
Dominated, compliant and deceptable
                                                   F5
Confident that we matterwe don't see that we're but  dust

[Break]
Committed to a lie we cannot see,
cannot know nor comprehend
We're all asinine drones kept in the dark,
        F5
kept in line

[Verse 3]
F5
Confined, bereft of reason
Withering in toxicity
The deadly fumes of deceit
And we all reek of complicity
Humbled, brought to our knees
By the weight of our own guilt
Our nescient ways the catalyst
To injustice and inhumani

[Bridge]

[Verse 4]
Asus2
We   danceto appease
Compete in stupidity
Obscured faces file our points
Numbers fed to the machine
Still we stand in line for the next show
The human spine liquefied
What are we, but stupefied
Dancers to a discordant

[Chorus]

We believe so we're misled
We assume so we're played

We believe so we're misled
We assume so we're played
We confide so we're deceived
