lyrics

Let the church bells ring
Let them go and sing
Let the massive façade ensue

Hear them march and die
Hear their battle cries
Hear the bloodshed continue

Watch them buy and sell
Watch them drain the well
Watch the Earth destroyed

Send the ones with minds
Send the hypnotized
Send the unemployed

Chorus
Stolen Lives
Society
Stifling our every thought
Stolen Lives
Anarchy
The only way to freedom

Watch your box and be brainwashed like a good citizen
Pay no attention to the men with guns
There only here for your protection

Brain-dead and ignorant
Materialistic masses distracted
Stagnant, mental decay
Shallow, fake, and entertained

(Chorus)

Apocalypse is hanging on the lips
Of anyone who hasn’t yet become
So numb and cold and blind
That they’ve traded in their spine

Don’t speak up
Don’t stand out
Stay in your seat
Stay in your house
Waste your life, but afraid to die
The hailstorm’s coming, but you sit inside

(Chorus)

They took our hope
And they called it religion
They took our lives
And said that it was our decision
You can join the parade or be trampled by it
Either way, they’ll keep you quiet
Don’t think you’re unique
You don’t even have the right to speak

(Chorus)

Don’t you see that we have been defaced
All our individuality has been erased
Don’t you see that the real enemy
Offers security for freedom
Happiness was never worth this
We are…Stolen Lives
Society stifling our every thought
