Текст песни Cult Of Erinyes - Velvet Oppression

06. Velvet Oppression

I can no longer hear but a deafening blast
Just a dull breath and this maddening buzzing
Life is still there, but it seems I can’t reach it
An immense black hole slowly invading my world

Terror and anger roar, yet no one is able to hear them
No time to look back, no time to plan ahead
No space left to rest, no space left to be alone
Overcoming, sure, but overcoming what?
Indolence or insolence, choose your path
Abundance is a fig leaf, an illusion thrown in their eyes
Someday they won’t know why they’re fighting no more

Flashing lights and unattainable dreams are all it takes to tame the lions
Everything is blurred in this uproar, millions of cards mixed together
Velvet oppression, so much more effective
Millions of us crushed in a ravishing silence

The whole world and so much more
In the palm of your hand
Your favorite life on a big screen
Truth or dream, it doesn't matter anymore

Screaming or crying, who can tell the difference?
Everything is stirred, mixed in a senseless maelstrom
I won’t feast on the fleshless carcasses they throw at us

All will end in a monumental outburst
And silence will finally reign
