Lyrics for The Demon's Name Is Surveillance

Mechanical compound eye Imposed observance. Sentries in the sky Vigilant lenses. Objectives belied In blackened heavens covertly they hide They see you. They see all. They know all indiscretions Compiler of your dreams, your indignations Following your every single move They see you All-seeing instrument. Supreme perception Omnifocal accumulator Thief of integrity. Its gaze upon the blind Information divinity by man designed The lives of all they occupy. Their eyes in dismal gloom The all-piercing, dead oculi - mirrors of our doom Oblivious to the trespass as you gaze into the black The demon of surveillance insultingly staring back - Into you They own your every secret, your life is in their files The grains of your every waking second sifted through and scrutinized They know your every right. They know your every wrong Each put in their due compartment - sins where sins belong They know you. They see all. They know all indiscretions Compiler of your dreams, your indignations Following your every single move They know you
