The Quiet Control

Verse 1

Silver screens

Flicker

Flicker

The elite hold every wire

Cold fingers

Feeding the fire

They trade your name for gold

Calculated

Cold

Chorus

Father forgive them

They don't know what they do

Father forgive them

They don't know what they do

The world is out of control

Out of control

Out of control

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Numbers in a machine

Oh oh oh

Part of the routine

Verse 2

Market crash

Blood and cash

They plot behind a heavy door

Hungry for more

More

More

They say we're breathing all their air

Telling us it isn't fair

They want to thin the crowd

Silent

Proud

Chorus

Father forgive them

They don't know what they do

Father forgive them

They don't know what they do

The world is out of control

Out of control

Out of control

Drop

Out of control

Out of control

Bridge

Nations fighting for the well

Turning heaven into hell

Religion is a jagged blade

Look at the mess we made

I saw the end

I felt the end

I knew the end

Why must we break the bone

Leaving us all alone

Verse 3

Data flows

Nobody knows

Where the private secret goes

Empire falls

Empire crawls

Empire calls

Just a digit on a map

Caught inside the velvet trap

They use the poor to build the wall

Watching as the kingdoms fall

Chorus

Father forgive them

They don't know what they do

Father forgive them

They don't know what they do

The world is out of control

Out of control

Out of control

Drop

Out of control

Out of control

Outro

Forgive them now

Forgive them now

They don't know

They don't know

Just a number

Just a number

In the game
