about

This song was originally written whilst I was in university and is about how fear has been used by organised religion throughout history to keep the people in line. We reworked the song during the Hypnotise sessions and something quite special has come out from it.

lyrics

You use religion as a way to scare the stray
No understanding of the world we have today
You claim to have it all you claim to know the way
But you don't realise you're living in decay

We live in fear of wasting time
'til those around you disappear
Wander through the dancing flames and question
Why were even here
When all it takes is understanding that we
Live in ignorance
Could our lives be something more than pictures
Lost inside this trance?

You waste your time with talk, there's nothing left to say
Eternal wisdom guides you every single day
You claim to have it all in every single way
But you can never take these memories away

We live in fear of wasting time
'til those around you disappear
Wander through the dancing flames and question
Why were even here
When all it takes is understanding that we
Live in ignorance
Could our lives be something more than pictures
Lost inside this trance?

We live in fear of wasting time
We live in fear of wasting away

We live in fear of wasting time
'til those around you disappear
Wander through the dancing flames and question
Why were even here
When all it takes is understanding that we
Live in ignorance
Could our lives be something more than pictures
Lost inside this trance?

We live in fear of wasting time
