LYRICS:

The unenlightened masses
They cannot make the judgement call
Give up free will forever their voices won't be heard at all
Display obedience
While never stepping out of line
And blindly swear allegiance
Let your country control your mind

(Let your country control your soul)

Live in ignorance
And purchase your happiness
When blood and sweat is the real cost
Thinking ceases, the truth is lost
Don't you worry
You'll be told exactly what to do
I give my people the lives they need
The righteous will succeed

The fires will burn in their defeat
The human heart is obsolete
Breaking down the fabric of society
Collective consciousness controlled as you will see

MIND CONTROL

Let your country control your soul
Let your country control your soul
Let your country control your soul
Let your country control your soul

>the human heart is obsolete
>armstrong has nanomachine heart
*DID YOU JUST*

[Snakeskin]

"A human heart is obsolete" goes so hard.

[ShinoharaMiyu]

Anyone else feel this version fits The Patriots' AIs pretty well, even moreso than the original version?

_The fires will burn in their defeat! The human heart is obsolete!_

[SimulatedGoat]

I love the final versions, though I do like how the beta versions were more traditional metal instead of being a metal/dubstep mashup.

[ToxicAtom]

So much angrier sounding than the final, I absolutely adore it

[chongliyang]

no wonder collective unconsciousness used this version. the way "my people" and "succeed" was pronounced made it perfect for ytps.

[aussiebullet]

This guy's vocals are perfect for the song. I kinda wish this was in the Jetstream Sam DLC when you fight Armstrong

[Definitely_a_Fox]

The fires will burn in their defeat
The human heart is obsolete

[ElJefeRules]

1:41 They should have kept that riff in the final version.

[core-nix]

0:35 'til 0:40
I don't know if it's deliberate but I love that it sounds like a horn from a slaughterhouse or factory in the background.

[Lunar_Atronach]

I find the change from "breaking down the fabric of society" to "making whole the fabric of society" very interesting as it kind of shows how the perspective in the demo is more like that of a society trying desperately to deny a higher force control over it where as the final version is more like that of a higher force viewing the society it controls

[BrezelCeviche]

I still don't understand why Metal Gear Rising does not have a Karaoke mode

[ThatOneGuy-wrrh]

Anyone else listen to collective unconciousness


*Then every time you hear certain lines you only hear the ones from collective unconciousness*

[brazilorsmth]

the only beta version i genuinely enjoy more than the finished product

mostly because jesus christ that instrumental is fire

[Jumboobs]

i must be the only who likes the vocals here just as much as the final version, because damn this guy has a voice with range

[Jfoqjtngusy.]

I love the beta versions because they sound more like they are being sang right next you without any audio edits just pure voice

[anamggss]

Basically the "National" Anthem of the entire world

[junglhaze]

Is it just me or does the singer's voice at the beginning sound odd(like out of tune/key?)?

[SirHektorDM]

I love the version that was used in the game....but this got something more. I'm not into MGS Lore, I haven't even played those games (PC Player) but MGR is one of my favourite games . So even without game lore context "The fires will burn in their defeat! The human heart is obsolete!" hits very hard.

[ChocolateQuakez]

The deep tuba in this version is really good, wish they kept it in the final version. Or if its in there, make it more pronounced.
