Legacy
Shadow Gallery Lyrics

Brand new day
A new beginning has come.

Somewhere so far away
In a distant place, unknown to us.

A global village awakes and starts to crack the open airway's
The world becomes more interconnected, and communication channels open up.

Cause the tiger's escaped
An unpredictable force has been unleashed.

He tore right out of his cage
The unleashed force broke free from all restraints.

It's like a spark to a flame
A small action has led to a bigger reaction.

Assimilating it's collective on the way
The force incorporates all that comes in its path.

Like turning on a light the brain's online tonight
The collective consciousness becomes more active and present.

All around the world
Affects every corner of the world.

That freedom in the air big brother is aware
Even though people feel a sense of freedom, the government is watching.

Or within my dreams?
The idea of freedom may be an illusion.

And do you think it dreams of life are we the air it needs?
The unleashed force needs our existence to survive.

Are we the air this beast needs to breathe
Our lives are essential to the survival of this force.

The engines's tuned and clean time for man and machine to join
Advancements in technology allow humans and machines to merge.

Society of the mind
A new society where mind and machine are one.

School today
Education system introduces young minds to this new society.

A sea of seething rage
Students feel a sense of anger towards the current system.

And on the menu in the lunchroom we got Ritallin and Prozac
Pharmaceutical drugs used to control and conform the students.

So I can concentrate
The drugs promote concentration and conformity to the system.

On my next level in Quake
Students find solace in video games to escape the system.

Where I can shoot them I can kill them
In the game, students can dehumanize and escape from reality.

And dehumanize the cancer in my veins
The game becomes an escape from the pain and conformity of real life.

Online you gotta sell your virtual as hell
In this new society, people are judged by their virtual identity and persona.

And do you think it needs your soul once your inside it's mind
In this new society, people are required to give up their core beliefs and values.

Once your inside the mind of the world
Once you enter this new society, your identity and persona become one with the collective.

The Code is running lean time for man and machine to join
Advancements in technology allow for seamless integration between humans and machines.

Are you waiting for the strike
Are you waiting for a revolution against this new society?

New Religion overload
This new society has become a new religion for people to follow.

There's lightning on the screen now watch man and machine will join
Advancements in technology will lead to a new society where humans and machines are one.

Society of the mind
A new society where mind and machine are one.
