Racks upon Racks Songtext
von Awaiting Downfall

In my dreams, I see racks upon racks
Filled with humans, racks upon racks
Eager to be what they are taught to be
In silence, they obey any command
As I′m bound to vows never pronounced
Dug in, bowed down, bow to their every will

I will not beg for you
Accept the things you do
This time, I'll make you pay
For all you took from me

And I wonder if this is the only escape
Run away and sink into death′s embrace
We all have lost ourselves
To achieve the life of someone else


I can't believe you've seen the world blindfolded
Rotting in the prison you call home
How can you be proud of your life
When your life is a lie?
Born to become the slave
The masters show you how to breathe
And where your horizon is

I wish the wheels of voltage would return
And prevent the world from moving
I know our hearts would then begin to burn
And save the world we′re living in

I will not beg for you
Accept the things you do
This time, I′ll make you pay
For all you took from me

In my thoughts, I stand alone
And battle against the order of things
An elated but intoxicating consciousness
Of individual power

And I wonder if this is the only escape
Run away and sink into death's embrace
We all have lost ourselves
To achieve the life of someone else


I can′t believe you've seen the world blindfolded
Rotting in the prison you call home
How can you be proud of your life
When your life is a lie?
Born to become the slave
The masters show you how to breathe
And where your horizon is
