"A Suspicious Deliverance" lyrics

Once there was a place an experiment
It would hold up to the tide
It would hold up to the chameleons
And the many shapes of time
Then there was a claim of experience
In the ways of modern crime
In the ways of using deliverance
To rob you off your mind

To rob you off your mind
Your mind, your mind
Alright

There goes a reputation
Of a dying nation
It's like the Rome of ancient
Reaching a trepidation
Look at the movie star
Look at him captain Picard
Show me an observation
Of a better civilization

Once there was a place an experiment
It would be a place to hide
For the weary and disobedient
For the seekers of the light
Then there was a claim of resilience
In the face of growing cries
In the face of threats anonymous
From without the borderline

From without the borderline
Borderline, borderline...

There goes a modulation
Of a chain negation
It's like a separation
Of a population
Look at the movie star
Look at him captain Picard
Show me an observation
Of a better civilization

I see a degradation
I see a relegation
Like the Greeks of ancient
Reaching a trepidation
Look at the movie star
Look at him captain Picard
Show me an observation
Of a better civilization
