Samael - Dictate of Transparency lyrics

It's a bit late to try and escape The world of today has a new shape Drown in the fever of control Freely in that trend we enroll No more place for conviction All that's real is abstraction Practically numb to novelties Incarcerated in civilities It's no longer the Stasi's lunacy The dictate of transparency It's our current reality A mutation of democracy Our lives open to scrutiny The dictate of transparency Our move on screen for all to see We dream of the time we were free Have we ever been free? Have we ever been free? We find ourselves on the front line Not knowing where to draw the line Free in a jail we don't perceive Ruled in a way we can't conceive It's no longer the Stasi's lunacy The dictate of transparency Our move on screen for all to see We dream of the time we were free Have we ever been free? Have we ever been free? Want to be heard - want to be seen Riot - fire We gave away privacy... When all our life is on display What else have we got to give away? From the obvious to the obscene Want to be heard, want to be seen All is senseless without witness... It's no longer the Stasi's lunacy The dictate of transparency It's our current reality A mutation of democracy Our lives open to scrutiny The dictate of transparency Our move on screen for all to see We dream of the time we were free
