Keep the Windows Closed

Keep The Windows Closed (from the album Chaos Rise Up)

Keep the windows closed, so the satellites can’t get in
That way no one knows, the plot that’s made within
Keep the story straight, so historians can’t get in
That way no one knows, the plot that’s made within

I’ll see you in the underground, fighting for your rights
Below the fossils and without a sound, in the shadows, behind the lights

Keep the borders closed, so the spirits can’t get in
That way no one knows, there’s ashes in the wind
Keep the people numb, so initiative can’t get in
That way no one knows, the world that could have been

I’ll see you in the underground, fighting for your rights.
Inside the castles, with ankles bound, in the dungeons, by fire light.

I’ll see you in the underground, fighting for your rights
Behind the curtains, without a sound, hidden from prying eyes.

Keep the shutters closed, so the neighbors can’t see in
That way no one knows, the secrets held within
Keep the public blind, so the maniacs can’t get in
That way no one knows, the thinking of the fringe… I’m on the thinking of the fringe

I’ll see you in the underground, fighting for your rights.
Behind the cameras spinning around, on the networks crawling inside

Keep the windows shut, Keep the fences high, Keep your spirits low,
Keep the workers weak, Keep the writers down
Keep your sunglasses on so the aliens can’t get in
Meanings of the past, your language is suppressed
Sleep with one eye shut and the other on the door.
