Awake (to a Life of Misery) Lyrics


[The used quote is taken from the movie "They Live", directed by John Carpenter and released in 1988]

[Bearded Man:]

We are their cattle. We are being bred for slavery.

Thought trained to succeed

From here on the pain begins

We're maggots, cast in the sea of struggle

Bait for the big fish

Crawl, forever crawling

Faith holds no answers

Ravenous - They greedily suck away your will to even argue

A belief in something better

Downtrodden hopes still linger

Faces bear the same shallow fear of forgotten prosperity

Powers change

The promise of reward

Declarations false and injust

Tame insecurity

A dreamlike notion that life eases by

Cushioning the blow of impending reality

Aimlessness is flogging us - Awake!!

Thought trained to succeed

From here on the pain begins

We're maggots, cast in the sea of struggle

Bait for the big fish

Crawl, forever crawling

Faith holds no answers

Ravenous - They greedily suck away your will to even argue

A belief in something better

Downtrodden hopes still linger

Faces bear the same shallow fear of forgotten prosperity

Awake!!
