Caught in the eye of a modern day storm
Where reflection's expelled and commerce is the norm
Monitored by marketeers
Shaping your will into brand new gear
Every step is pre-decided
The system is flawless, no one can hide from it
No field is left unprofessionalized
In a world bureaucratized and rationalized
Chorus:
Alexandrian age
Full of hidden discord and rage
Because the being of mankind is being ignored
But the tables are about to turn
And their machinery will burn
And the life of the mind will be restored
Poetic visions marginalized
Utopian quests specialised
In the illusion supplying industry
The critical mind's pushed to the periphery
But the spirit's stronger than the system used
Which cannot create, but only reproduce
The first has the power to liberate
While the latter's designed to abide by its own rate
Where reflection's expelled and commerce is the norm
Monitored by marketeers
Shaping your will into brand new gear
Every step is pre-decided
The system is flawless, no one can hide from it
No field is left unprofessionalized
In a world bureaucratized and rationalized
Chorus:
Alexandrian age
Full of hidden discord and rage
Because the being of mankind is being ignored
But the tables are about to turn
And their machinery will burn
And the life of the mind will be restored
Poetic visions marginalized
Utopian quests specialised
In the illusion supplying industry
The critical mind's pushed to the periphery
But the spirit's stronger than the system used
Which cannot create, but only reproduce
The first has the power to liberate
While the latter's designed to abide by its own rate
