Dead Can Dance Lyrics

Album: Spleen and Ideal

Advent: Lyrics

In times of great vexation

 when one must choose between what's right and wrong

 freedom, so they say,

 amounts to but the choices you have made!

 Through all the arbitrary

 rationale concerning liberty,

 freedom, I must say,

 exists within unconditioned minds!

 Reason...

 has come of age.

 How can you be satisfied

 with things the way they are

 when all that surrounds us now

 and so much more

 remains inside

 the keeper's dark embrace?

 The insatiable

 thirst for power has made

 idols out of mortals

 gods into clay

 soldiers into heros

 children into slaves!

 All damned

 desires

 their hopes betrayed.

 Who will suffer the laws,

 that State can decide your

 child's education,

 unless you pay the price?

 Refrain:

 Who will suffer their laws?

 Who will suffer their minds?

 Who will suffer their words?

 Who will suffer their designs?
