[Verse 1]

Eyes upon me

Watching me in my perpetual sleep

Dreams deceive me

My future depends on a mindless dream


[Pre-Chorus]

I've fallen from promises

Damned to take risks on my own

The masterful science that freezes your

Mind and your soul


[Chorus]

The wretched dream is realized

The human race is to be crystallized


[Verse 2]

Thoughts of laughter

Filling the head of the master in charge

Worlds of wonder

Is this a cure or a painless death?


[Pre-Chorus]

I'll fight and resist

Till they all see the end that is near

The doctors, the lawyers, and G-men

Are living in fear


[Chorus]

Living my life with one distant hope:

A cure that will kill this invincible foe
