Grave New World

Tank


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]
