[Eftichiou / Carawana / Burke / Hughes / Sly]
[Narration written and spoken by Steve Sly]
The year 2018
Life as
we know it destroyed through ignorance
Life unsustainable outside of the sterile City limits
Your every breath and movement
monitored
Violence and crime will not be tolerated
Your first mistake will be your last
You are now entering Sector
One
Please insert your life control card
S129434
You have sinned against your own people on Central City
Now you must pay
the ultimate price: your access denied...
Blazing arid wasteland, motionless distress
As a red synthetic sunrise distorts the
naturalness
Summoned by the signal, natures only point of view
As the system of the new world begins for those who do
No need for
the seasons, destroyed inevitably
Eternal burning winter divorced the other three
Living under shelter, our existence doesn't
change
To the regulated programme that's too dangerous to tame
Condemned to life, where you don't even die
Condemned to life,
where emotion denied
Condemned to life, where you can't even ask why
Your condemned where it's access denied
No escape, there
is no other side
Access denied, request denied
Monitor systems check emotion control
No room for resistance
Access denied,
request denied
A digital readout shows the meaningless time
You may never speak out
Your condemned where it's access
denied
No escape, there is no other side
Access denied, request denied
The silence that was louder now shattered by
alarm
Shows a frenzy of obedience of safe but sterile charm
Blue and pink in sectors, unite but rarely meet
Just a basis for
production, so that logic is complete
No need for assessment, do just what you do
Your emotions are illegal in this electronic
womb
No chance for a rebirth, no chance to decide
Can we trust ourselves to run us if emotion is denied ?
Condemned to life,
where you don't even die
Condemned to life, where emotion denied
Condemned to life, where you can't even ask why
Your
condemned where it's access denied
No escape, there is no other side
Access denied, request denied
Sector One, it's our
world, why let it die ?
Sub-divided, by nature can we ever decide ?
Nature's orders, pre-programmed through mother earth
Man's
existence, decided through science and thought
Can't monitor emotion, can we limit control ?
Can't resist our own
destruction
Our reactional readout shows the means to the time
Why did we leave it so late to speak out ?
No escape from a
world of emotionless machines
Can't speak out, no logical point of view
Access denied, request denied
Life control by number, not
a name
Access denied, time's running out for you
Access denied
Access denied
Access denied, access denied
