Tema

Esta pista, originalmente un *bonus track* japonés en el álbum *Youthanasia* (1994), ofrece una visión escalofriante de un **futuro distópico** o un mundo dominado por el engaño masivo, donde las personas ceden voluntariamente su vista (y discernimiento) a líderes corruptos. Es una crítica a la **fe ciega y la corrupción político/religiosa**.

Letra

Line up all of you and turn in your eyes You just won't need them anymore And your mind is ours to do with what we please Everything you own and everything you need Sacrifice you leaders: like it or not Or else you're going down with ship; death on the rocks Blind follow; blind lead All our hopes and dreams, washed out to sea All your money's ours to bankroll corrupt wars You can't see what you're fighting for Trust your leaders as they send you out to die The true face of evil can't be seen without eyes At the start of time; many centuries ago Came the spawning of christ and the antichrist And darkness fell upon our people And the children, they were born faceless Without eyes they could not see Born unto themselves: they lived and they died In the millennium of the blind
