Violent Sleep of Reason

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
 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
 And 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
