Deterrence by Neon Dmon Lyrics
"The dark mirror of dystopian fiction functions as a deterrent
A warning that we should not allow the still curable illness of our present world to turn into the abhorrent pathologies of the world of the future."
Entering the sequence in predefined order
We know our place among this static disorder
Conspiracies are woven in the darkest corners
Billboards and neon signs show off the wealth of ruthless
Data consumed by All-Seeing Eye
"Greater good" the grandest lie
This world of cipher was set to fail
Deterrence to prevail
Welcome into the darkest state of time
And find something to remain
Wake up and realize that brightest days are over
The Final sequence is getting closer
War has changed to battles fought behind disguise
Feeds of chaos, led by watchers unidentified
Oh how those proxy wars have worn us all out
The shadow networks controlling our demise
Illusions of threat - to cover
The true design (Succumb to your fears)
This world of cipher was set to fail
Deterrence to prevail
You, stop right there!
What is your status?
Identify yourself or be contained
Four seasons reduced to one by temples of toxic smoke and fog
Continuous downpour of blight brought us this eternal fall
Network built for greater good now serves to control the weak and poor
But don't you dare to run and hide, from the "comforts" of neon light
Welcome into the darkest state of time
And find something to remain
Wake up and realize that brightest days are over
The Final sequence is getting closer
"Suppose that we are wise enough to learn and know -
And yet not wise enough to control our learning and knowledge
So that we use it to destroy ourselves? Even if that is so
Knowledge remains better than ignorance."
A warning that we should not allow the still curable illness of our present world to turn into the abhorrent pathologies of the world of the future."
