Lyric Sensory Deprivation
(Music: Hoglan/Eriksen, Lyrics: Hoglan)
Potentially there s no safety
Inside these walls, I m forced to be
Unprotected to cruelty
I m not at my own mercy
The most important time in my life
Is governed by an unstable mind
On another I depend
My own life I can t defend
(chorus)
Will I survive?
To see the day arrive
When I am cast forth
And endangered nevermore
Incarcerated and force-fed
Your disparity a constant threat
Are you qualified to reign?
Is my destruction pre-ordained?
I am not a parasite
Will I be punished by your spite?
I await my destiny
And possibly your enmity
(chorus)
Will I survive?
To see the day arrive
When I am cast forth
And endangered nevermore
(bridge)
Completely under your dominion
I m not here of my own volition, no
(lead-Brett)
(lead-Eric)
(chorus)
Will I survive?
To see the day arrive
When I am cast forth
And endangered nevermore
I m locked away, a nonentity
Sacrificed by antipathy
My pleas aren t heard
So I m tortured
It s perilous in this domain
And I m dead if I remain
I pray that you
Don t cause my doom...
(chorus)
Will I survive?
To see the day arrive
When I am cast forth
And endangered nevermore
Potentially there s no safety
Inside these walls, I m forced to be
Unprotected to cruelty
I m not at my own mercy
The most important time in my life
Is governed by an unstable mind
On another I depend
My own life I can t defend
(chorus)
Will I survive?
To see the day arrive
When I am cast forth
And endangered nevermore
Incarcerated and force-fed
Your disparity a constant threat
Are you qualified to reign?
Is my destruction pre-ordained?
I am not a parasite
Will I be punished by your spite?
I await my destiny
And possibly your enmity
(chorus)
Will I survive?
To see the day arrive
When I am cast forth
And endangered nevermore
(bridge)
Completely under your dominion
I m not here of my own volition, no
(lead-Brett)
(lead-Eric)
(chorus)
Will I survive?
To see the day arrive
When I am cast forth
And endangered nevermore
I m locked away, a nonentity
Sacrificed by antipathy
My pleas aren t heard
So I m tortured
It s perilous in this domain
And I m dead if I remain
I pray that you
Don t cause my doom...
(chorus)
Will I survive?
To see the day arrive
When I am cast forth
And endangered nevermore
