Description

"MK ULTRA" has an electronic sound and powerful, "spidery" riffs.[2][3] The end riff bears similarity to the main riff of Slither by Velvet Revolver.

Additional information

The title is derived from Project MK-ULTRA, the code name for a CIA project that sought to use drugs for the purposes of mind control and interrogation. An image of some declassified MK-ULTRA documents appears in the booklet of Black Holes and Revelations.

Lyrics

The wavelength gently grows,

Coercive notions re-evolve, A universe is trapped inside a tear, It resonates the core, Creates unnatural laws, Replaces love and happiness with fear

How much deception can you take? How many lies will you create? How much longer until you break? Your mind's about to fall

And they're breaking through They're breaking through They're breaking through (We are losing control)

They're breaking through They're breaking through And they are breaking through, They are breaking through, Now we're falling, We are losing control

Invisible to all, The mind becomes a wall. All of history deleted with one stroke

How much deception can you take? How many lies will you create? How much longer until you break? Your mind's about to fall

And they are breaking through, They are breaking through, They are breaking through, Now we're falling, We are losing control
