The propaganda machine
Is spreading a prophet's doctrine
Everywhere are effigies
Contributing to insanity
The dictator is calling out his canonization
A perfect cloak for coming aggrandizement
He's leading the land to divine ecstacy
Controlling the masses: He's omnipotent
Children marching off to war
Persueing a sacred end
Manipulated legionaries
The theory's drummed in their heads
Guided weapons or gas can't stop 'em
Obedience to orders, execute them blind
Killing, destroying, almost imperturbable
But don't blame them: The brainwashed minds
Systematic instruction
Total conformation
Religious indoctrination
Sacred transformation
Inspired by a former regime
Learned nothing from world war two
Stirring up hate against opponents
Leading the country into doom
Born and raised with religion
Fanatic and ready to fight
Contrary to non-supporters
They were told to be right
The lyrics SYSTEMATIC INSTRUCTION of PESTILENCE is also present in the album Malleus maleficarum (1988)
Pestilence è una band olandese di death metal formatasi a Haarlem nel 1986. Considerati pionieri del technical death metal e del progressive death metal, hanno influenzato profondamente l'evoluzione del genere. La formazione originale comprendeva Patrick Mameli (chitarra, voce), Martin van Drunen (voce), Randy Meinhard (basso) e John Boelen (batteria). Dopo aver iniziato con sonorità tradizionali di death metal, Pestilence si è evoluta verso un sound più tecnico e progressivo, incorporando elementi jazz, fusion e musica classica. Il loro album del 1989 *Mind Reflections* è considerato un classico del genere, mentre *Consuming Impulse* (1991) ha ulteriormente consolidato la loro reputazione come innovatori. Dopo quattro album, la band si sciolse nel 1994. Nel 2008, Pestilence si riunì con una nuova formazione guidata da Mameli e pubblicò due nuovi album: *Resurrection* (2009) e *Doctrine* (2011). Dopo un'altra pausa, la band si è riunita nel 2016 per registrare un nuovo disco con un nuovo gruppo di musicisti. Tra i brani più rappresentativi di Pestilence figurano: *Out of the Mind*, *Spheres*, *The Last Embrace* e *Twisted Existence*.
