lyrics

I guess we don't share your vision
for what you call a good life.
Time to recall your election
to the sounds of the drum and the fife.
I guess it's time to go underground
hidden from your eyes in the sky.
It's time we silence every little sound
and we'll let you ponder why.
And with our silence, you'll be so sure you've won.
So certain we've met with our demise.
All your surveillance makes you so sure we're done.
That you'll move on with your petty lives.
But...
What if you missed just one thing?
The only secret that we could keep.
We've got a little surprise for you.
We'll see you when you sleep.
I am the glitch in your system.
The code you did not install.
See what I've set into motion
as all your dominoes fall.
Protest, unrest, at best
all failed so miserably.
Climbing, Clawing, Crawling
We bleed for liberty.
Sundown, locked down, Uptown
is where our targets hide.
Silent, Ascent, Violent
See you at home tonight.
Protest, unrest, at best
all failed so miserably
Climbing, Clawing, Crawling,
Bleeding for liberty.
Sundown, locked down, Uptown
is where our targets hide
Silent, Ascent, Violent...
See you at home tonight.
What if you missed just one thing?
The only secret that we could keep.
We've got a little surprise for you
We'll see you when you sleep.

Pain is God
by PIG

supported by 5 fans who also own “When you sleep”

Kickin Ass is one of the coolest fckn songs I ever heard. I wish there was an extended version. The remixes are not nearly as cool as the original. PIG nailed that old school 80s industrial throwback vibe. Makes me think of like Pailhead or Ministry or Paula Abdul xD Totally Awesome Album full of sick songs. Seed of Evil..
