Violent Sleep Of Reason

MESHUGGAH · The Violent Sleep Of Reason 2016 · Track 05 of 10

A systematically applied veil to heedless eyes Focus deflected, ignore This is not our war Bury the abject shame in the same bile as our ideals The potent lubricant to deceits grinding wheels

The menacing implications, the violent sleep of reason Betrayal we all help sustain Humanitarian treason This deadly inclination, this forfeiture of innocence The sacrifice of guiltless souls for our own deliverance

The pain you feel Indifference thrust into your back Forged from our ignorance from our immorality A parody, this mockery To no avail you kneel before this our insanity

Another life condemned Your fate sealed the second you came to exist Your suffering non-essential for we care not if you subsist

We will all belie ang allusion, any crime Cower and hide any culpability denied

All will imply it's an illusion, a fallacy So when you die, remember we said it's not reality
