lyrics

illusion of progress
we take away your soul and mind
your many dreams and your very own life
to take away

we break

we break!

your destructive freedom
taking away

your lovely free will
we strip you of all choice
and we'll drag you down to Hell

for speaking out against us

to coat these lovely chains
in a bright blue paint

so mellow, so seemingly pure
they shine so brightly with beauty
will you please wear these shackles for me?

brace yourself you mortals
for the crises of free will is prevalent
you can't be trusted with choices or decisions

we'll take your free will
in the name of progress
we will create

this..

...illusion

of progress

we'll use our fame to drown you out
and we'll scream and make you look full of hate
to take away your confidence
we'll strip you of all your self worth

if you are too persistent
we'll just kill you instead

Oh, this illusion of progress
Oh, the illusion of progress!

divide, hate, slander, manipulate
our weapons are many

to split apart your feeble minds
and provoke your thoughts
we have you wrapped around our middle finger

you are so easily controlled,
we didn't even have to use any strings
you did this on your own
in the name..

of this

illusion of progress!

Oh, this illusion of progress
Oh, the illusion of progress!

behold our master scheme
you wanted this, didn't you?
behold, we've put your hopes on hold

and there is nothing left
but to claw away at the despair

in the name.. of progress
in the name of.. success

Oh, this illusion of progress
Oh, the illusion of progress!

behold, we've put your hopes on hold
