The vision of a futuristic city named Abberhalis, where every thought is controlled and citizens live like zombies deprived of an alternate choice of life may sound horrendous but this is exactly where today’s world seems to go. Our cage is comfortable, but we’re still trapped, although human feelings remain that there must be something else out there.
Lyrics
ABBERHALIS
We talk so low
You whisper in my ear
By fear of getting caught for what we think
This city’s like a hole
That’s swallowing us all
Can’t stop this mean machine
From destroying my dreams
Black birds gather high
Under cold grey heavy skies
Circling all around in a sea of sound
And I know
No one ever left this city alive or free
Though I get fragments of pictures
When I close my eyes
Of grass and trees
I had a dream last night
Animals were still alive
We’d gotten rid of the chip under our skins
We were dancing and laughing
Talking and feeling
And I know
No one ever left this city alive or free
Though I’m sure the sun is shining out there
Beyond the rocks, the desert
There’s trees
And I want to leave
Here we are
Prisoners of a city that never thinks
Of a city that never dreams
