The Elite Control

Verse 1

Who

Sitting high

Polished silver chairs

They track every single breath

Data mines buried deep in the wires

Harvesting your habits

Selling your soul

Numbers

Cold numbers

Tied to a tag

Sifting through the marginalized

While the empires crumble into the sea

Old power fades

New kings rise

From the wreckage

Silicon

Steel

Blood

Chorus

Is the elite in control

Are they pulling all the strings tonight

Is the elite in control

Feeding us the dark for light

Is the elite in control

Is the elite in control

Drop

Control

Control

Verse 2

Thinning the herd

They say we weigh too much

A heavy burden on a dying rock

Cut the water

Poison the rain

Preaching about the end of the line

Saying there is no room for you

Saying there is no room for me

Resource war

Fought in the shadows

By men who never see the front

Nations clash

Nations burn

While the board stays clean

For the winners

For the masters

For the gods of gold

Chorus

Is the elite in control

Are they pulling all the strings tonight

Is the elite in control

Feeding us the dark for light

Is the elite in control

Is the elite in control

Drop

Control

Control

Bridge

Father forgive them

Father forgive them

Father forgive them

They do not know what they do

Clutching a cross

Clutching a sword

Clutching a coin

They do not know what they do

We are human

We are failing

We are breaking the garden

Forgive them

Verse 3

Smart

So smart

They hide in plain sight

You think you made a choice today

But the path was paved years ago

Why must we destroy

Why must we kill

Why can we not find the peace

A planet gasping

A child crying

A master laughing

Look up

Look away

Look at the chains

Chorus

Is the elite in control

Are they pulling all the strings tonight

Is the elite in control

Feeding us the dark for light

Is the elite in control

Is the elite in control

Drop

Control

Control

Control

Control

Outro

They do not know

What they do

Just a number

In the game

Father

Forgive
