about

This song has a very energetic vibe, but, as a regular Hecatombe’s tune, drive through different roads, going from the aggressiveness of the riff to the complexity of the verse, reaching a psychedelic part and culminating in a breakdown with dissonant chords. As an interesting point, these lyrics were written by all member at the same time, talking about how we only have the illusion of being free.

lyrics

Ladies and gentleman
Welcome to the land of the free
Where all dreams come true

I walk the land of the free
I see no way to escape this fate

Palaces at the boulevard
Servants running fast
To lease their stay
People trying to buy some peace
While the renegade
Just feeds the dog and laughs

I’m in the land of the free
Where dreams come true at once
The party is rolling on and on
Will you dance tonight??

I see big faces grinning
New model on the screen
With the same old flag

I’m in the land of the free
Where dreams come true at once
The party is rolling on and on
Will you dance tonight??

I’m in the land of the free
Where dreams come true to no one
The party is rotting on and on and on

Wish I could see the sky
Wish I could feel the breeze

Fat rats control the feast
Setting traps to cats
So they can pile the dirty cheese
A mouth well fed keeps the machine alive

This is the land of the free
Dreams don’t come true at all
You’re in the land of the free
Even the strongest fall

We are the clowns to amuse the zombie crowd
There’s no clown to brake the circus down
