Theme
This song is a socio-political critique and a conspiracy-based commentary on a populace that willingly remains ignorant and controlled, the **'millennium of the blind'**. The lyrics warn of a dystopian future where people **'turn in your eyes'** and allow their minds and finances to be controlled by corrupt leaders, emphasizing that the danger lies in the lack of public awareness and the acceptance of deception (**'Blind follow; blind lead'**).
Lyrics
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**
