Static Acts - Fates Warning

Air currents grind, monotony

Image defined, static scene

Adherents bent opinion less

Following scent of commonness

Fit the latest rage

Whatever stains the page

Then fears allayed

Of lonely shade

Wheels, they grind… industry

Insipid finds, out of key

Opinions bent toward standard waves

Bleaching out divergent shades

Mock integrity

Veiled hypocrisy

Ironic finds

When selves decried

Ban expressiveness

Bold repressiveness

Dictated by minds closed tight

And walls that shut out light

And so we have static acts
