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
