The Furious Monks - Echoes of Dystopia

Echos of Dystopia

Voices echo, 'trust our word',
but their truth is slurred
Under masks of concern,
real intent is blurred

Resist the digital cage,
the new-era sage
Fight the shadow grabs for age,
sound the rage
Stand united, our power won't fade,
against the elite charade

Rage, rage,
against the dying of the light,
in this surveillance plight

Have you seen the screens all around the block,
the eyes that peer, the doors they lock
Every step you take's in their sight,
digital chains, no more the right

Have you felt the grip of the faceless names,
who trade in freedom for their games
Fingers tapping,
control they seek,
a world of silence,
the future bleak

Have you heard the words
'it's for your good',
but behind the veil,
misunderstood
Movements tracked and thoughts policed,
in this Dystopia, where will it cease

Hear the whispers of a vision scorned,
by the suits upstairs all neatly adorned
Built a fortress with our bytes and fears,
puppeteers with omniscient ears

Awake and sear the wires of deceit,
with the march of the unrested feet
Cry out, cry out,
for the silenced speech,
before the freedom's breach

They plot,
they scheme,
with a code discreet,
in shadows where the lies and truth can’t meet
We're more than just data on the elite fleet,
reclaim the streets

Rise against the silicon hand,
the stealthy plot that takes the land
Stand firm,
stand bold,
make your statement made,
in pixel prisons,
don't you fade

Defy, defy,
defy the binary binds,
keep the human essence alive
Won't be just a node in their net,
a silent pawn in the power set

Can you feel the hum of the wires awake,
every pulse they take,
every move they make
We're digits in lines,
in the cold machine's eyes,
but we won't capsize,
we will rise, we will break

Shatter the screens,
the narrative's hold,
our stories aren't theirs to be sold
Freedom's our flag,
won't be controlled,
against the elite,
we stay bold

Faces in the pixel mist,
disguise the iron fist
Laced with codes,
our essence missed,
against this we must resist
Stand tall,
break the chains,
don't just be good
For every byte that they take,
we'll reclaim our neighborhood

Strike back,
don't freeze,
don't let them seize
With every heartbeat,
break these digital leases
