lyrics

Icons

How does it feel to be a fool?
Believing lies of those who wash your brain?
Can they give us a peaceful life?
Why that desire to make new idols?

(Chorus)
Unbroken wolves
Made propaganda

Outcasts build a shrine to worship them
The world is bleeding, holding hands

They feed on you
Are they your icons?

They pay you giving speeches
with promises undefined
But you give yourself away
These spheres blind your inside
(Your hollow inside)

There are many impostors
Growing there

People seal their absence giving their vows
Once you make your choice, there’s no coming back

They count on your weakness
You trust in a lost cause
Those living portraits resize your pockets
You’re their bitch
And so you call ‘em insignia

(Chorus)
Unbroken wolves
Made propaganda

Outcasts build a shrine to worship them
The world is bleeding, holding hands

They feed on you
Are they your icons?

Feel society in shadows
Mankind is dying
Oh God, this is real
Can you wake from this dream?

Perfect devices
That thing for you
Turning back to the fallen man

They pay you giving speeches
with promises undefined
But You give yourself away

People seal their absence giving their vows
Once you make your choice there’s no coming back

They count on your weakness
You trust in a lost cause
Those living portraits resize your pockets
You’re their bitch
And they’re your insignia
