A song demo recorded in 2008; the song itself was written in 2003. It's a science fiction scenario of a dystopian future of political oppression. 

I love 80s-era Rush songs that are heavy with synthesizers and that was part of the inspiration for the instrumentation. The guitar parts were played on my Line 6 Variax 300.

"If I disappear you'll know what happened to me,
that I fell victim to the security,
watch your words in all that you say,
'cause you can't hide and you can't run away.

When reason is lost and greed rules the land,
the power hungry play their final hand,
those of us that see are a small minority,
ignorance and fear keep the people in apathy,

This is not the future that we thought we'd have,
this is not the life that you thought you'd have,
this is the darkness that befell our world,
this is the darkness that befell our world.

Running in the night in a city so silent and dark,
maybe you are freedom's dying last spark,
you are being hunted in a land you thought you knew,
but now you are a stranger whose life is almost through.

Chorus"
