Grave New World Lyrics

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]
