It was a cold day in April and the clocks were striking thirteen My name is Winston and I am a thought criminal Here we go again It's just a job Read it, burn it, change it! The best books are those that tell you what you already know It’s a beautiful thing, the destruction of words Show no emotion Have no opinion Big brother is watching If you want to keep a secret you must also hide it from yourself You will deny without regret Take all the time you need Forget what’s in your heart What’s in your head You will deny You will forget It’s a new day Victory square Bring on “2 minutes of hate” Hate! Show your anger and mean it! Demonstrate your allegiance to “The Party” “Long live Oceania!” Tear their minds into pieces and put them back together in shapes of your own choosing You will deny without regret Take all the time you need Forget what’s in your heart What’s in your head You will deny You will forget It never stops It’s never ending It never stops It’s never ending My rebellious act of love Oh Julia Dark hair, dark eyes Soft, porcelain skin I hate purity I hate goodness I don’t wan’t virtue to exist anywhere I want everyone, corrupt! And Julia my love, you are corrupt to the core We both believe that 2 + 2 = 4 Perhaps she did not want to loved, so much as to be understood You will deny without regret Take all the time you need Forget what's in your heart What’s in your head You will deny You will forget It never stops It’s never ending It never stops It’s never ending Don’t run, it’s over I knew this time would come I always knew they would find us But I, I still believe 2 + 2 = 4 (double think) And its to “Room 101” I go My name is Winston and I am a thought criminal

Something like 1984 could actually happen The writing is on the wall A world devoid of emotion Yet filled with fear, rage, triumph and self abasement The sex instinct will be eradicated We shall abolish the orgasm There will be no loyalty, except loyalty to the party Always and every moment, there will be the thrill of victory The sensation of trampling on the enemy If you want an image of the future Imagine a boot stamping on a human face, forever The moral which we can derive from this nightmare scenario is simple Don't let it happen It's up to us.... We're not the first We're not the last But we are here right now It's up to us What will it be? Repeat the past? 'cause all I see.. Is 1984 The writing's on the wall Black man, white man, surely we can work it out? Left wing, right wing, divided as our hearts sink Mindless, soulless, restless, on the brink Israel, Palestine, surely we can make it right? Black heart, dead eyes, madness of the human mind Deaf ears, open eyes, don't be fooled, we are blind Rich man, poor man, jealousy, corporate lies Our history Our destiny They're not the same Not the same We have a past But we can start Right here, right now 1984 The writing's on the wall Black man, white man, surely we can work it out? Left wing, right wing, divided as our hearts sink Mindless, soulless, restless, on the brink Communist, facist, socialist, pacifist Politics, social fix, dopamine, look at me Swipe left, swipe right, rate me, follow me Love me, trust me, approve me What are we? Oh Don't let it happen (Don't let it happen) It's up to us Don't let it happen It's up to us... 1984 The writing's on the wall Black man, white man, surely we can work it out? Left wing, right wing, divided as our hearts sink Mindless, soulless, restless, on the brink Israel, Palestine, surely we can make it right? Black heart, dead eyes, madness of the human mind Deaf ears, open eyes, don't be fooled, we are blind Rich man, poor man jealousy, corporate lies

Julia 04:35
Dark eyes, serious style Pale skin, look within Can you my mind? She looked at me and though she did not speak Her eyes said it all Rest assured we’re safe here Come to me naked and fall to the floor Julia Can you read my mind like I can read yours? Just look at me ‘cause there’s no need to speak ‘cause your eyes say it all Rest assured we’re safe here Come to me naked and fall to the floor Julia

Head in your hands Eyes bloodshot and dark Tell me, where is your God? Make like a leaf Get blown away by the wind How you gonna survive tonight?

I met her inside a book She made me laugh She made me smile I met her inside a book She made me cry She made me cry The diary of a girl Your hopes inside Your dreams denied Humanity’s darkest side Little girl don’t you cry Oh baby won’t you try Oh look at you How you made me cry, you made me cry Will you get through? Will you survive? Oh baby won’t you try My tears dripping on the page as I read about this human rage The radiant face of a child Heart of desire An angel of fire You were so wiser than your years A broken world reflected in your tears But I know that your heart will always dream So baby close your eyes, your legacy will live I wish I could take you in my arms and save you from this harm I wish I could rewrite the book and save the life they took from the angel of fire Angel of fire So fly Angel fly high Angel fly high, high, high Angel fly high, high, high Oh Anne we will remember I’ll never forget your tender smile Oh angel eyes, no more will you cry An angel of fire

about

"1984" is a follow up to the 2022 "Dark Society" album. This 5 track body of work (EP) is inspired by the "1984" classic by George Orwell. The songs are inspired by the book and draw inspiration from it whilst at the same time drawing comparisons to the current state of the world. It is frightening how Orwell's work of fiction, albeit far-fetched at the time, seems now to be manifesting itself in our current reality. The lyrics from the feature track "1984" issues the resounding plea , "Don't let it happen, it's up to us..."
