Simulacra Simulation

(Lead - Sant`Ana)

Welcome to the "real" world

Load your life from the system

Domination by the code

Cold life, bare existence

Your dreams on the TV screen

They know what you think

Through technical fantasy

Enter hyperreality!

[Bridge 1]

Far beyond the true

Yet beyond the false

Life seems like frozen time

Fight now the oppressor!

Inside there is a meaning we can't see

They try to wipe it away

Simulacra Simulation

[Chorus]

I can see them now

Controlling your mind

Hyperreality

Cloning of the weak

No will to live, yet none to die

Masses submission

Real an allegory of death

(Hyperreal) endless resurrection

Clear and clean, sterilized

No blood, flesh and bones

Self of self, xerox man

That's what you've become

[Bridge 2]

Simulating new thoughts

Exterminating sense

Of life now operational

Fight now the oppressor!

Inside there is a meaning we can't see

They try to wipe it away

Simulacra Simulation

(Chorus)

(Lead - Garavello)

Do they control what I am feeling

Could life regenerate my burning scars?

Do they control what I am dreaming

Could death cease the pain that numbs my mind?

I finally understand: I'm one of them!

(Lead - Sant`Ana)

(Bridge 1)

(Chorus)

I can see them now

Controlling your mind

Hyperreality

Artificial ecstasy

I can see'Em now

Controlling your mind

Hyperreality

Turns you into a battery

What's reality?

What if there's no reality?
