Now I just know the world
The way it’s been shown to me
Hollow, insecure
Vibrating in dissonance

There's something wrong
I feel an imminent collapse
My mind doesn't feel the same

In front of the threshold's gate
Resign to the last remain of yourself
For when you pass
You commit doublethink

The pain grows stronger
The will is conquered
Can't you understand?

That's the price that you have to pay
For your blindness
For your stupidity

They made you a sheep

Arquetypes
Made by hate
I refuse to vindicate

They hate the creation
They hate the chaos
And as long as this hell exists
We all doublethink
They hate the chaos

In discomfort
I seek reconciliation and balance
As I mirror totality
But reflect vacuum

Rectified
Maybe you never existed

I try to convince myself but I feel inside a void
What have I become?
No resolutions now
No resolutions now
Just lies, lies


I'm so afraid to disconnect myself
From the angry
From the insecure
With this weight in my shoulders

Doublethinking
Always questioning
No resolutions now
No resolutions now

Disengaged and disconnected
I can’t find a way to be myself
With a thousand eyes around me

No escape
No place to hide

Now it’s time
To spit on their faces
To reject the cure
Let's fight together
For the human condition
Out of the spiral
Safe from this reality
One more time

They started to build the path
They started by bringing war
They started to bring the war
Bringing the war home

They started to build the path to
Domination

I try to convince myself but I feel inside a void
What have I become?
No resolutions now
No resolutions now
Just lies, lies

I'm so afraid to disconnect myself
From the troubled
From the pained
With this weight in my shoulders

Doublethinking
Always questioning
No resolutions now
No resolutions now

Disengaged and disconnected
I can’t find a way to be myself
With a thousand eyes around me

"Panopticon" (Instrumental Version)

We seek power entirely for its own sake. 

We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. 

Power is not a means; it is an end. 

One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power... is power.

Now you begin to understand me.

Chapter I - Domination

Chapter I: Domination - The Axis

It’s the birth of a brand new world

Merged as one the illusion is real
Until the truth is unfolded

We have the power to achieve
Things you don’t understand
To live in perfect harmony
Just let us lead the way
It’s not insanity 
To fight for the things
We know you need
All we ask for is blind obedience
And we’ll fulfill your dreams

We will not tolerate an insurrection
We will not tolerate any deviation from this

A crime called creation
Deviates purity
Wards off perfection
We’ll make this nation great again
Creation is the way of chaos

We must reverse this broken society
Surrender yourself and trade your dignity
For a brighter cage

All the things you have lived for
Every lie you’ve believed in
Are the reasons why we’re here
They are the hindrance, inimical
Recede, go back
We’re here

A dormant threat from the outside
Don’t let them come
They are the enemy
Let us be your guidance
Out of broken morality
Salvation now has a face

We will not tolerate an insurrection
We will not tolerate any deviation from this
Any deviation from this

A crime called creation
Deviates purity
Wards off perfection
We’ll make this nation great again
Creation is the way of chaos
We must exterminate

Kill your lower self
Redeem all constraints
From within
For this ultimate path
Shall undergo and transmutate
This absence
Converge on the unseen
The light… you, fool

Merged as one as a whole
The illusion seems real
Until the truth is unfolded

Please let us in, let us fill your inner void
The sooner you fit in all your fears and tears will go

Evolution
Feeds the flame that creates conflict
It’s better for yourself to avoid this suffering

Dissent is betrayal
The truth is one
Doublethink
All mutates

You must choose a side
Better stand with us
Or face an imminent annihilation
Walk away or be part of this
Be part of this

It’s the birth of a brand new world

A crime called creation
Deviates purity
Wards off perfection
We’ll make this nation great again
Creation is the way of chaos
We must exterminate

Chapter I: Domination - A Brighter Cage

We are slaves of the things we don't need
We consume
We've sold out our souls to be none
Not to suffer
To avoid despair

Yet another offense remains still unanswered

We've been drugged by promises and lies
What we believed is just a construct
It doesn't exist

I...
I need a way out
I hate all that's around me
Fucking system
Breaks your knees
Wants you to thank
For the crutches
Given, not yet taken away

Rage
My repulsion is total
Liar
Stop pretending it doesn't affect you

This is real
Safety is transitory
Wait until it shrinks
Close enough to drown you dead
Castrating the human essence
To render backwards its design

We beg to be sedated
It's all about escaping
To be numb from reality
To be numb from ourselves

We beg to be sedated
It's all about escaping
To be numb from reality
And then coming back

Just to be you
Reality is devastating
Don't pretend it doesn't affect you

This is real
Safety is transitory
Wait until it shrinks
Close enough to drown you dead
Castrating the human essence
To render backwards its design

Its design
Render backwards its design

Stop... stop... enough... stop

I became stronger when you tried to break my will
And if you take it all away from me
Something will remain holding strong my humanity
I won't glorify a piece of shit that doesn't belong to me

It's an imminent collapse
A failure
It's an imminent collapse
A failure
It's been always about escaping

Escaping

Chapter I: Domination - Escaping

Underlying truth, tense calm, delusion. Closing in, deep down, illusion. We keep struggling, failing and moving on.

Chapter II: Tracking - Delusion

Understanding means delusion
Your beloved so called reality
Wasn't hard to break at all

Understanding means delusion
We will keep you sane
We will keep you safe

All the things you think you own
Like the hammer breaks the rock
In order to make you pure
Those things now belong to us

In order to make you pure
Your life now belongs to us
Essence deprival automates
The mindless swarm
Your life now belongs to us

Every threat you face
Has been planned to control
Under perpetual sight

Now we can see over you
Even in darkness
The sword has been placed over your head
Yes

Now we can see through you
Madness
You do the dance
We pull the strings

A structure made to be perfect
You're just an engine in this breathing thing
A structure made to be perfect
You're just an engine in this breathing machine

I have created this monster
There is no escape behind your door
So raise your hands for our greatness
You bunch of vessels without a soul
Now say goodbye to your humanity






We are watching you
Stand still
Assimilation engaged

We are watching you
Stand still
Let the process begin
We are watching you

A structure made to be perfect
You're just an engine in this breathing thing
A structure made to be perfect
You're just an engine in his breathing machine

In the face of pain
There are no heroes
Break the chain and destroy the mirror
Are you alive or just breathing?
Symmetric order set
Made to obey the equality of itself
A utopic twisted dream
The perfect working machine

In this shithole
I can't recognize any of your kind
The human kind

Deprivation
Behold the face of this brutal tragedy
You'll never forget

Too coward to dare to face my weakness
But selfish enough
To keep spreading the sickness

You will be hollow
We will squeeze you empty
And then we shall fill you with ourselves

Humiliated

We are the grudge you must swallow
Your life will never be the same
Like an edge from a pointed arrow
We shall fill you with ourselves


In order to spread the cure
Your life now belongs to us


In the face of pain
There are no heroes
Break the chain and destroy the mirror
Are you alive or just breathing?
Symmetric order set
Made to obey the equality of itself
A utopic twisted dream
The perfect working machine

In the face of pain
There are no heroes

Too coward to dare to face my weakness
But selfish enough
To keep spreading the sickness

Chapter II: Tracking - Under Perpetual Sight

With relentless use of power, many have attempted to redefine human nature. Few have partially succeeded. Consistently, symbiotic phenomena coexist in every attempt to create the so-called new man in a massive scale. Domination, through strict controls. Tracking, with severe surveillance. Conditioning, by numbness and desensitization. Not the utopic version of humankind results out of this, for The New Man is nothing but the bottom of human dignity.
