lyrics

// Chorus x2:

We are entering a Brave New World
And it seems we do it willingly
So I hope that I will find my way
In a world where the gangsters play

// Verse #1:

Community, Identity, Stability…
That’s the motto

The sound is what you hear within me
Dogs barking in the cold, unease
Cursed, I’m curious and hungry
Ignorance, far-wide & plenty
- Maybe…, maybe I should mind my own business
Tricked into a community living
Mandatorily stable, artistically crippling
A place where conditioning is made
And your free will is the free will of slaves
I am made to behave and act upon name
Made to display within shade

// Chorus x2:

We are entering a Brave New World
And it seems we do it willingly
So I hope that I will find my way
In a world where the gangsters play

// Verse #2:

Complacent, conservative and faceless
A result, generated existence
Almost there, like a faded vision
There must be more than our molded creation
Hypno’d so the light switch is flipped off
Or flipped on, any act wished upon
Not unlike the screens, that render us numb
But so strong is the drum in this one
- Get ready..., free willy...
- A slave hive doesn’t like a free mind...
Been proved, there’s always one to break through
See things a little different, push-through
They can stand strong but in the end, we all move
Change’s debut

// Chorus x2:

We are entering a Brave New World
And it seems we do it willingly
So I hope that I will find my way
In a world where the gangsters play
