mesmerized you stand there, you've opened your eyes wide,
finally he is there, the new messiah, the new god, the redeemer
you'll be fine, you can expect a perfect world
all you have to do is submit to him and obey

I protect you / but from whom or what
I gift you / with confused thoughts
I am your shepherd and guide you through the darkness /
the darkness that I will bring about

I stare hypnotized, in disbelief I observe the scene
see you cheering, hear you scream, ecstatic you repeat the words he spits out
he is the protector, he is the redeemer, he is the leader, he seems to be god
Did we not hope for peace together, were we not all happy to finally enjoy life
what has become of your ideals, why don´t you have your own dreams anymore?

this god treats his flock like a shepherd
like runaway sheep, you run after him, repeating his disgusting slogans
you run straight into his arms, but before you reach his warming help
the abyss comes and you fall down one after another, deep into the abyss of lies

was not exactly this what we fought, didn´t we stand at this edge already
but you don´t see all that, empty words only count for you, hollow phrases without value
it seems I am surrounded by zombies, will-less desperate creatures
god politician messiah's savior devil influencer, wake up before it's too late

I'm sitting here and I can not understand it
am I the only one who looks behind the scenes, who still thinks, who questions
how can it be that people subject themselves again and again to become
tools for a stranger's sake - I don´t get it

All that prevails around me is hate, despair, sadness, the inability to even make
decisions on your own, so you become the voluntary slaves of a so called elite
but if they are so elitist, what makes them ruler, why do a few lead and many follow?
it is a deadly and repulsive cycle that I want to escape

I do not go into voluntary slavery
