	A very pleasant, "gray-sky" tone that has a unique appeal. No lyrics yet; the song will also be revised later.

	Story Behind the Song Too many people want to show everyone else how "non-Christian,Jewish,etc..." and "cool" they are by appearing evil or some other garbage. Instead of just living for petty shock and a short-term thrill, I decided to put out something real; something that had meaning in reality and that didn't rely on scaring/harassing anyone. This song basically compares organized religion to the trap that Plato talked about in his "cave" metaphor. People are sitting all their lives in chains, and forced to stare straight ahead at a wall. All they ever see are shadows produced by puppeteers, so they "learn" that the shadows themselves are real and begin to feel comfortable accepting false truths. (Notice I did not say lies; though the puppeteers are liars, the lies become truths to the prisoners of the cave.) I used the cave as a way to depict how dependant and controlled the mainstream population is by religion. The puppeteers are priests, monks, the pope and other various forms of religious authority; many rely on their word and are scared of thinking for themselves, so they seek comfort in a philosophy created by man; we can create another matching it with a mere cookie cutter! Is such a cheap utensil something you wish to devote your life to? It's time we broke away and thought for ourself... YOU choose your path, so it's time to start taking responsibility for our own actions instead of pleading forgiveness for a premeditated act of malice you plan on committing in the near future to some cheaply-carved chunk of stone. Lyrics We're watching fake movies puppets wielded y the plastic. We're brain-washed subordinate pawns. The shadows become sin. The shadows become law. Heed his threats, don't question what you saw. We are the flies, we're photosynthetic. The righteous chastise, they cover and edit. We're wearing fake leashes, fetters linked to the plastic. We fear the light of dawn. The shadows become sin. The shadows become law. Heed his threats, don't question what you saw. We are the flies, we're photosynthetic. The righteous chastise, they cover and edit.
