Atlas Entity - Murmurs of Dissent Lyrics

We've learned that war is peace and freedom is slavery
Ignorance is strength and abuse is generosity
Destruction is salvation
It's somehow fitting that their end is our beginning
Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past
Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past
The country was sold for some TV ratings
Confidence has been absorbed in ignorance
We're addicted to the black mirrors, it sucks the soul out of us slowly, a little dopamine at a time
We're all junkies about to OD... we're junkies about to OD on electric vanity
It's a dark place, yet there is light and there is life
Life within us and the others surrounding us
We must look in and around us
Beyond the land of the blind, where the man with one eye is king
Stare into the abyss my friend
Stare into the abyss my wounded brothers
Witness the apathy, witness the shattered ones
Blinded by lies to try and mislead
Witness the apathy, witness the shattered ones
Blinded by lies to try and mislead
Blinded by the apathy - witness the shattered ones, witness the shattered ones
We've been given the torch, we're the ones in - we're the ones in control
What sort of future awaits of those that succeed us?
What sort of lessons will we bestow upon them now?
How can - how can we move on when we can't be taught ourselves?
We can't give up - we can't give up trying
