Venmo: @sequoiasounds
music written by Fredrik Thordendal
arranged and performed by Sequoia
originally from the album ’obZen’ (2008)
Listen to the hidden tune
The essence of lies in notes defined
As we dance to the dissonant sway
The choreography refined
Will subdued and shackled
Reason washed aside
Pledging our love to the chains
Our ignorance ever-amplified
Bloodened hands lead the waltz
We’re trapped in the out-of-tune swirl
Still we set the show on continue mode
And dance to a discordant system
We accept the nails we’re fed
Lies sharpened to bleed us silent
Muted from the pains
Defiance employed in vain
Any attempts to leave the dance
Invisibly suppressed
Questions unasked, we learn the steps
Eyes shut like all the rest
Unsuspecting, willing, blind, controllable herd
Pawns in a covert game conducted by hands we trust
Dominated, compliant and deceptable
