BLINDED IN BLISS LYRICS

1. Born Into Bondage

Born into this world
Not knowing who we are
Given this identity
Forced fed reality
Hurtling through space
With limited perception of who we are
And why we're here

All we know is we are capable of love
Like the love we show for our music
And it feels like the love we show for the young
Shining light into the darkest places

Into the world at large not just your one perspective
Keep in mind that this world is divided amongst itself
The blind lead the blind
The sheeple herd themselves
Propaganda working on our minds
Shaping our world views

You were born into bondage
Isolated from what we could be
The truth
Sacrifice yourself
We were born into bondage
Forced to live this lie
Confined within society
Sacrifice

Your world view for an open mind
Seek the truth, seek it all the time
Place the blame on our ignorance
Take control of its governance

All we know is we are capable of love
Like the love we show for our music
And it feels like the love we show for the young
Shining light into the darkest places

You were born into this world
Bound by rule and law
For the purpose to benefit the state
Fight for everything you love
Hold dearly to your rights

And rights of everyone upon this world

We can make this change today
All that we are is the result of what we have thought
We can learn to live another way
Forget these broken promises
Cast out the veil
Your life's before you
No country, no rule, no law defines you
We are all the same expressed in different ways

2. Deliverance

Expectations
the voice inside my head won't rest
i'm my own worst enemy
paralyzing
I approach the crossroads of my life
the decision must be made

I'm seeking answers deep within
reflecting upon my failures
for al the pain i'm learning more and more
about who i am, and who you are

Mesmerizing
the duality exists within
torn between two paths
perseverance
you've always known where your heart lies
moving past the inner conflict

In my weakest moments
your words were there, to carry me
the pillar of strength the held me up
when the force of my doubt emerged
when i look in your eyes
like looking into a mirror
my one desire is to save myself like you

I shall deliver with the pressure weighing down on me
i invoke the strength within
i'll see this to its end
i will always remember
never ever forget
that in my greatest time of need
your sacrifces set me free

Full force
as i approach the final stretch
reach out
take this leap of faith
no fear
break the boundaries of your doubt
if you never try
you'll never know
you'll always wonder

Don't lose your focus
you're running out of time
you've built this for yourself
only you can break it down

In my weakest moments
your words were there, to carry me
the pillar of strength the held me up
when the force of my doubt emerged
when i look in your eyes
like looking into a mirror
my one desire is to see myself like you

I shall deliver with the pressure weighing down on me
i invoke the strength within
i'll see this to its end
i will always remember
never ever forget
that in my greatest time of need
your sacrifces set me free

3. Brothers To Arms

So pure
so precious
so rare, the bond that we share
true friends, you'll fight for
you'll bleed for again and again

Have you ever taken a turn for the worst
never really knowing why
have you felt the weight of the world
held back as it passed you by
but no matter how hard it gets
it doesnt matter how far you fall
when your world comes crashing down
you can always rely on

Good times
old faithful
living life one day at a time
united, eternal
we will never forget
where we're from

And who we are
and what we've been through
brothers to arms

We will never forget
the ones we lost
together we stand
we will never fall

This world is cruel
but we're in it together
i got your back and you got mine
living life one day at a time
just live in the moment reach out and own it

Remember
who we are
and where we came from
and what we've been through
forget the noise
for the will teach us
to have faith in who
in who we are

When i was down and out,
you believed in me
when darkness shrouded my path,
your faith it compelled me
to push as hard as i could
to work as hard as i should
for all the people i love and care for
this is for you

Have you ever taken a turn for the worst
never really knowing why
have you felt the weight of the world
held back as it passed you by
but no matter how hard it gets
it doesnt matter how far you fall
when your world comes crashing down
you can always rely on

All the memories and all that's still to come
and everything we stand for
moving forth as one

4. Constancy

Never followed
always led myself through life
never deceived
never faltered
never blinded in the darkest nights
learned long ago, to trust myself

Your thoughts, your own
your fate, you make
just trust in who you are
your dreams aren't very far

When you're faced with doubt
entangled in your fear
you break the binds that hold you back
embrace your fate
your dreams you make
through constancy, constantly

Stumbled upon a river of trust
watched the weak, drown before me
victims to forsaken lies, overcome by desperate times
and we all go down that road
where we find ourselves
it's who you choose to be that defines you
trust in no one else

Your thoughts, your own
your fate, you make
just trust in who you are
your dreams aren't very far

When you're faced with doubt
entangled in your fear
you break the binds that hold you back
embrace your fate
your dreams you make
through constancy, constantly

Realize, even as time goes by
we remain the same
despite, the transformations
we'll find, we will find
i trust our values are embedded deep inside
your hopes your dreams
are never out of reach

Stumbled upon a river of trust
watched the weak, drown before me
victims to forsaken lies, overcome by desperate times
all, all my life
i've waited for, one touch, one tase,
a glimpse, my right

Our constancy remains strong
our constancy will go on

5. Destitution

Robbed of your will to live
your life has fallen so far
you lie in disrepair
never questioning why

Hopeless
no salvation
tormented
the pain you must endure
relentless
defeated
no prayer can save you now

Malevolence
oligarchy
profit interest
before humanity

Deprived
your ambitions lie in ruin
natural law revokes
clenching onto faith
for the hope of a brighter day, but NO
your hopes they fade through loss
existence takes its toll
you've fallen far from grace
IN DESTITUTION

How could this be real
how did it come to this
the suffering continues
supermacism still persists
for all the pain we've seen
the tears in tragedy
we fail to see
all around the world we fail to see
the pain and and suffering
despite the good intentions
ignoring the root cause

Hopeless
no salvation
tormented
the pain you must endure
relentless
defeated
no prayer can save you now

Robbed of your will to live
your life has fallen so far
you lie in disrepair
never questioning why

Deprived
your ambitions lie in ruin
natural law revokes
clenching onto faith
for the hope of a brighter day, but NO
your hopes they fade through loss
existence takes its toll
you've fallen far from grace
IN DESTITUTION

How could this be real
how did it come to this
the suffering continues
supermacism still persists
for all the pain we've seen
the tears in tragedy

6. Affinity

Those eyes are the gateway for deception
lack of perception
this physical world hides a truth
the symbiotic connection

Dependence, on everything
for survival
awareness is required, for the future
to survive to live on for understanding
realize

There is a fragile balance in life
despite our ties to this world
it existed before we were here
and will remain when we come to pass

there are things you cannot
touch or see
affinity
like the bond that join
you to me
affinity

We're united through the sounds you hear
and through the love we share

Reality, is emergent

There is a fragile balance in life
despite our ties to this world
it existed before we were here
and will remain when we come to pass

The stars and the sky
and the universe too

The sun and its planets connected to you

The clouds up above
and the wind in your face
your family and friends
and the oceans and lakes

we are connected to everything
we all share this affinity
for if we didnt exist as a whole
we wouldn't even exist at all

Everything we thought we knew
can change
new understandings are emerging
every day

Forsake these ancient traditions
There must be another way
place your faith in a new horizon
search for another way

7. The Idea Of Poverty

The whole weight of this world
it bears down unto you
manipulation of our governments
profit preaching providence

The cost for you to live
a price you can't afford
the body bags they fill each day
they were forced to live this way

Covet resources
profit of out need
the disregard for life
spreading the disease

Privatize your social systems
buying your rights
modern day slavery
a product of poverty

Like time controls the things we've done
it will never let us back
like time controls the things we've done
we will never come again
it's what we do right here and right now
that sets us on ourt path
the choise is ours to take this leap
to shape this world for harmony

Covet resources
profit of out need
the disregard for life
spreading the disease

The pyramid, that represents
the pain and misery
the ones who sit upon its top
their hearts are filled with greed
there is no room for you and me
its only give or take
in a world where children starve at night
the idea of poverty

This global conspiracy
expose their treachery
light will prevail, here
awaken your mind's eye
this world is ours
seek to expose the truth
the power of thought
it holds weight over you
like the wieght that they held over us
this world is awakening
sick of the suffering
change is calling for you
for you
for you

8. Washed Away

Searching for a sign
the pulse within my life
a desperate attempt to feel like i belong
loneliness in my heart
longing for release
screaming from within
the harder i searched it seemed
you eluded me
time is so unforgiving
lead me to the truth
life found a way and i found you
and you found me

Througout the course of out lives
always searching for the moments that define who we are
you cannot capture the moment alone
you find the meaning through people you love

I believe
now i see
that i found my place in you
be with me
set me free
shape my memories with you

You lit my world
you fulfilled my dreams
we became one both you and me
this love i have, i give to you

Like a bridge to something special
your eyes are the bridge for my love
when i had you in my sight
the pain was washed away

Like a bridge to something special
your eyes are the bridge for my love
when i had you in my sight
the pain was washed away

Fo you i'd lay my head down
in sacrifice
i'd lay my life on the line
for you

Faith will find you tomorow
stay true to who you are
i could never replace
what you meant to me because

Everything i desire in life
all my thoughts keep leading me back to you
i was yours untill the end
when your thoughts lead you back to me
a chapter in your life
remember what we shared

I believed
i was free
now i bid farewell to you
i my dreams
memories
i will save a place for you

when your thoughts lead you back tome
remember heart and soul
remember the love we shared was kind, pure and true

9. Factors Affect

I sit and watch as the course of life evolves
a product of our thoughts
for the outcome of our lives
is changing all the time

I'm reaching out for you
how is it that you fail to see?
the things i did affected you
like the things you did affected me

But i can't explain it to you
your mind is set to what you've been told
you think its all just set in stone
that your path is laid before you're born

and you walk the earth convinced
all the things that are happening to you
are a part of a predetermined story
written to see you through

Your fate, is born
your hate, will scorn
the price, you'll pay
for the sacrifices you've made

But then there will come a time
in your life
you will find
when you finally realize the universe is not to blame
for the things you claim
that brought you here
this is what you chose and soon you'll see
every choise we make affects the aftermath
of what will come to be

Time to come with me
let's take a stroll
i'll show you your views of the world
misguided interpretations

The morals you value
your view of the world
your deepest desires
the guilt that you hold
the people you love
and that people you hate
you're entangled in all of the things you forsake

The morals you value
your view of the world
your deepest desires
the guilt that you hold
the people you love
and that people you hate
you're entangled in all of the things
you partake in each day

Your fate, is born
your hate, will scorn
the price, you'll pay
for the sacrifices you've made

But then there will come a time
in your life
you will find
when you finally realize the universe is not to blame
for the things you claim
that brought you here
this is what you chose and soon you'll see
every choise we make affects the aftermath
of what will come to be

But then there will come a time
in your life
you will find
when you finally realize the universe is not to blame
for the things you claim
that brought you here
this is what you chose and soon you'll see
every choise we make affects the aftermath
of what will come to be

And you try to portray
while each factor detemines your days
as they stare you in the face
moving faster with each breath you take
suddenly you'll see
the result of each day you must embrace as one

Your perception of all you've perceived
will leave you clueless
to the things you thought you believed
and if you blindly tread the path that you tend
you will reach your inevitable ugly end
