DESCRIPTION:
"SENTINELS" LP - THEME D


FROM THE FIELD TO THE HOUSE

...And from where WE are, WE have watched at a distance
the fascists militias crush the rebellion,
until the order gets restored and the tables turn on them,
by strategy, or by fear of sticking out our neck.
WE have simply made OUR reflection OUR age-old enemies,
once more, repeating this same old cynical story;
to keep on fighting the ghost trapped in OUR glass cell
rather than shooting dead the cop hidden in OURselves.

THE SHADOW OF A GUNMAN

It seems WE’ve all had a role to play
ever since the unfortunate
and, alas, already too faraway
system's inauguration date.

We often did pretend to dissent from
our inheritance and rules norm.
Often did WE act like big mouth orators,
dictating the propaganda of the deed like teachers.
WE've spent the most of OUR time spitting on social aids, health care system,
while living off the dimes they deign to drop to our faces.

WE've spent the most of OUR time to convince OURSELVES of our freedom,
to prepare OURSELVES for the civil war to come.
In facts, WE've never dared to quit, to separate from that dragon.
In facts, WE've always stood as one devoted student.

If despair may break any bar of iron,
time and habit-forming can reinforce them more.
WE're in the grip of the camera state filled with cops.
2 times 2 makes 5 when taught for brainwashing years.

It used to be them against US, they made it us against I.

So am I definitely one void who self-talks?
Wearing a mask according to the face I want to show?

In this WE may only have time to count what WE have to gain and mostly what WE have to lose.
