OBSTRUCTED BY LIGHT
Born one night, wrapped in winter snow
A gift of ideas is what they bestow
And when you cry they turn their faces away
From the first day, they lead your mind astray
You strictly conform , you put on a mask
To not stand out, to accomplish every task
Enlightened by darkness
And obstructed by light
An illusion of hope with no solution in sight
Enlightened by malice
And obstructed by light
Conform to the standard, you need to think right
This masquerade is lasting throughout your life
You think the thoughts that you’been taught
There is a pattern for politics and one for religion
You need to get out of this endless labyrinth
They say they are instructed by God
But it’s just a heinous ideology
East and West, no matter it’s all the same
They’ll drink your blood and erase your mind
Enlightened by darkness
And obstructed by light
An illusion of hope, but no solution in sight
Enlightened by malice
And obstructed by light
Conform to the standard, you need to think right
Every little detail
Every individual thought
Every weakness
they need to be erased
If you’re not strong enough
They will encumber you
And burn your soul
A lifelong solitary confinement
Born one night, wrapped in winter snow
A gift of ideas is what they bestow
When you cry they turn their faces away…away
…away!
