Imprisoned - Anacrusis

A hell is upon us now this day

Silence whispering unspoken rage

To lend a hand but not in force

To speak our minds in free discourse

Keep closed our eyes

Blind us from the fools unseen

Keep closed our hearts

Drain emotion to plant the seed

Keep closed our minds

Turn innocence to ignorance

Keep closed the mouths

Mute the verbal dissonance… Always

Use not, o’youth, the spoken word

Here to be seen and not to be heard

Thinking red-handed we are caught

Arrest the growth of human thought

Keep closed our eyes

Blind us from the fools unseen

Keep closed our hearts

Drain emotion to plant the seed

Keep closed our minds

Turn innocence to ignorance

Keep closed the mouths

Mute the verbal dissonance… Always

A hell is upon us now this day

Silence whispering unspoken rage

How can we grow with bars about?

Imprisoned in a cell of doubt

Keep closed our eyes

Blind us from the fools unseen

Keep closed our hearts

Drain emotion to plant the seed

Keep closed our minds

Turn innocence to ignorance

Keep closed the mouths

Mute the verbal dissonance… Always

How can we grow with bars about?

Imprisoned in a cell of doubt

Keep closed our eyes

Blind us from the fools unseen

Keep closed our hearts

Drain emotion to plant the seed

Keep closed our minds

Turn innocence to ignorance

Keep closed the mouths

Mute the verbal dissonance… Always

…Always

…Always
