Burial Within

Fear as a Weapon

Burial Within


Blindly accepting the truth from the mouth of deceit 
Crushing dissent until the silence is complete 
Consumed with a neurotic need for secrecy 
Controlling the minds of the weak until the goal is achieved 

Question their authority and you become the enemy 

Compromised integrity with nonsense and duplicity 
Power-hungry and feeding on our inability to learn from history 

When the sirens sound to end the peace 
To warn of attacks from imaginary enemies 
We line up like sheep to trade our liberty for security 

Fear is a weapon with the power to control the masses 
Confidence and complacency pull the trigger 
Panic follows, run for cover into the arms of our Big Brother 

When the sirens sound, just look around 
There are no threats to see, just fabricated terror to fuel anxiety 

Cower before your fear 
Manipulated at our insistence 
Cower before your fear 
Subjugated with no resistance 
Cower before your fear 
Disgrace democracy with a fascist quagmire 
Cower before your fear 
Embrace the fate of a crumbling empire
