We Are the Dead - Eternal Dirge

As you gain for power

Pain has been hurled

Opression every hour

It’s a dog-eat-dog world

Now as you can see

Dream turns into insanity

Only the Thought-police mattered

Your dreams of a free life are shattered

Total reconstruction of the past

Two-minute-hate-programmes

That won’t last

No truth — but propaganda

In your head

Slowly dicovering that

WE ARE THE DEAD

Total control

By permanent supervision

Absolute power

By manipulation

No correspondence

Between facts and their representation

WAR IS PEACE

FREEDOM IS SLAVERY

IGNORANCE IS STRENGHT
