[Lyric] Lyceum (Yawning Earth)

Closer than blood can tie us
Bound by the yoke of control
Arm in arm against their advance
Our fate in the crucible

Shall some giant step the earth
To crush us at a blow?

No force born in hatred
Armed to detain and suppress
Shall ever hold high power
Not while we draw breath

If destruction be our lot
We must be its author

Too many children born into the world
Shall never breathe free
A system engineered for dominance
Presses them into slavery
And thosе who escape the iron cеll
Can never truly be released
Inside the national panopticon
We live in fear of the police
