The Technocracy

by Quietus

supported by

Fahrenheight Nova Electro cyber symphonic metal pulled off with class, slick and satisfying production and catchy yet dynamic songwriting. Very short but sweet and memorable, and I really enjoy the marriage of progressive metal and glistening dark synths and the lovely vocal performance. Favorite track: Embers of Existence.

Where were you When time came to an end? You left when we needed you the most Where were you When death was imminent? Your apathy cost us everything Where were you When our world came crashing down? As we fall As the Embers of Existance rise As we fall As the Embers of Existance rise high How could you Let the answers disappear? You left when we tasted victory How could you Let our world go up in flames? No more standing by As they tear up our world No more giving in As the flags unfurl We are all the same Made of flesh and blood We can all be killed For bad or for good They will tear up our world We will all give in As the flags unfurl We are all the same Made of flesh and blood We will all be killed For bad or for good

Wake up to a new beginning A much better way of living We're expanding all our borders Make way for a New World Order Fueled by the industry, rapidly growing A mindset of the human race Primitive thinking completely decaying A new dawn of what we all face We have become a united earth But we are scattered within the universe Beyond my own thoughts Is a vast emptiness Time to destroy the fear Time to dance in the lightning storm Peace and prosperity through their protection Is what they want us to believe Our own existence descending to madness Just breathing this travesty

Our wounds so deep Are all that we keep They're Unbreakable Smoke is rising above the clouds The sounds of screams have slipped away All will be as it was before Keeping true to what they say Not just everyone will be blessed They'll smother all the fire we still possess Our wounds so deep Are all that we keep They're Unbreakable We can't defy We're waiting to die They're Unbreakable You stood and watched your own world burn We've given more than you deserve Will you ever learn? You were saved from certain death Now the pain only continues Unless our society acts as one Our wounds so deep Are all that we keep They're Unbreakable We can't defy We're waiting to die They're Unbreakable Alethia

Captivating our minds Tasting life while still confined Always surrounded by it all Everything made out to be benign Late is the hour To redeem us from our powers When we see our tainted world When we hear our final breath Only then will we define our fate Deviating from the pain Bowing down in shame Leaving all the mystery behind Beating in rhythm with ourselves A place where nothing ever sleeps Embracing inevitable times Stirring everyone's beliefs Painfully reminiscing Of a time we're all missing Deviating from the pain Bowing down in shame Leaving all the mystery behind Welcome to your own demise Crying out for change Stumbling through the Technocracy Breaking You always win Breaking We are nothing If I could trust you Would I betray you? If I could free you Would I enslave you? If I could love you Why would I leave you Confused and cold? If I could trust you Would I betray you? If I could free you Would I enslave you? Bound by your hypocrisy Trapped within this Technocracy

Earth has become a dystopian society and has united under The New World Order. Technology is becoming integrated into everyday human life more than ever. Resistance is not an option.
