Strap in for a ride on Dream Theater's dystopian rollercoaster, where angels aren't quite celestial and the American dream is a bit of a nightmare. The band serves us a potent cocktail of social commentary, highlighting our reliance on flawed systems and the exploitation by the powers-that-be. Through poetic angst and vivid imagery, they draw stark lines between righteousness and moral decay. Heroes carrying the weight of our collective sins? It's like Atlas shrugged, but with guitars. And oh, those faceless "victims on the radar" – are we doomed to be sheep led to the slaughter? Basically, brace yourself for a musical exposé, where angels weep, heroes groan, and you might just question your life choices. #SocialCommentary #ModernDystopia #MoralDecay #MusicalRevelation
On the Backs of Angels
Lyrics
Standing on the backs of angels
Destined to create
Mounting the attack
While heroes carry your weight
We spiral towards disaster
Survival fading faster
Riding out the wave
Content to feed off the machine
Bleeding us to death
The new American dream
You're blinded by your hunger
Beware your days are numbered
Tears fall from the shameless
Shelter me, guide me to the edge of the water
Selfless are the righteous
Burden me, lead me like a lamb to the slaughter
Blurring lines drawn in between
What is right and what is wrong
Victims on the radar string us along
We're on to your agenda
The dead end road to nowhere
Tears fall from the shameless
Shelter me, guide me to the edge of the water
Selfless are the righteous
Burden me, lead me like a lamb to the slaughter
Tears fall from the shameless
Shelter me, guide me to the edge of the water
Selfless are the righteous
Burden me, lead me like a lamb to the slaughter
Selfless are the righteous
Burden me, lead me like a lamb to the slaughter
