Naively, I had been attracted to the city as a child It was the heart of community Unified, healthy, sharp, abbreviated Opportunities in the city Greater for the choices of success and happiness - acceptable - completeness I moved there as a teenager and was exposed to subliminal images and emotions that relied due to accumulation of the rational defined Expectations everywhere would lead us to the dream Was this where we were first exposed?
Invaded our faith Invaded our skin Invaded from within Don't you see they're taking us? The Criminal Nation has led this invasion
Now we're protected No one except "type A intellectual unaffected numerically connected" can enter the city On arrival, shocked by extent, exposure infestation Denied the truth - shelter - propaganda And at the gates, the word had changed So recognize the invasion
Invaded our blood Invaded with sin Invaded from within Don't you see they're taking us? The Criminal Nation has led this invasion
Taken its hold, ah, yeah It's taken control, ah, yeah It's taken its hold, ah, yeah It's taken control
I saw the sign on the city wall predicting the final day Then concluding that it had come to the point I should leave this place As I left through the gates, I was joined by a crowd all sensing the same
Now I've led you to this place, seen your point of view, dreamt up other faiths we could be too
It's taken control, ah, yeah It's taken its hold, ah, yeah It's taken control
All we've seen, we can't change now Although you feel there were many things unanswered by, all I see, all I see's invasion
If only I'd tried in life just to let it all lie No one man decides the fate of the world If people don't try, then we'll break all together, and I'd never decide on that course for mankind And I won't deny all the lies that we're given, but I'm watching our minds forsaking our souls And I, and I, only stand for the given However, nothing survives when the sun finally fades
Nothing can change the fate that we're heading to (Nothing can change) No one can take it away (Nothing can change) Nothing can change the life that we're going through (Nothing can change) No one can take it away (No one can take that away) Nothing can change the fate that we're heading to (Nothing will change) No one can fade it away (No one can, no one can, no one can change) Nothing can change the life that we're going through (Nothing can change) No one will take that away
