"Death of Common sense" was written as an attack on organized religion. That's my take on it. Brent wrote the words for this one, and he has some pretty interesting theories about religion, Christianity in particular and alot of his words are focused on that. I wrote a few lines in the song and the ones that I wrote were coming from more of a "Think for yourself" or "Don't let anyone else tell you how to live" standpoint. I didn't really want to throw myself into Brent's world of 'anti' religion, so I decided to take a more straight forward approach..."Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path, and leave a trail..." - R.W.Emerson

Civillity thrown out the window
a spiral to non-understanding
irrationality pervades as common sense
is pushed away

Dead hand's cold grip
on life
smokescreen blinding to all

The global myth of harmony
encouraging hypocrisy
lie to us and make us believe it
lie to us and make us receive it

Dead hand's cold grip on life
smokescreen blinding to all

One mind misdirected
subterfuge required
headlong into confusion
Society's misled
Whitewash invited slavery
programmable belief in choice
to look the other way

Desensitize, sterilize
make up minds, prostelitize
misdirection, key to illusion
desensitize,key to confusion
wake up, wake up now

One mind misdirected
subterfuge required
headlong into confusion
Society's misled
Whitewash invited slavery
programmable belief in choice
to look the other way
