Stand in line as we march to the drums of the east,
Paralyzed and possessed by crusaders deceased,
Lost in the silence, the call from the turbulent times.
Bound by the science that lives on the lips of the wise.
(CHORUS x2)
The beating of a million drums.
The fire of a million guns. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/j/justice/civilization.html ]
The mother of a million sons.
Civilization
(2nd VERSE)
Lost in the silence, they bow to the call of the east.
Tantalized and seduced by the demons released.
Ears to the ground by the name of the merciless guide (sky).
Onto the fire that burns in the all seeing eye.
Awesome track! Justice is really one of the best french-house bands!

"the murder of a million sons" not "the mother of a million sons"

So cool, more of that please. I like the interruptions in the instrumental parts in which the drums echo so nicely

There are a couple of mistakes in these lyrics.
"lost in the silence, the call from the turbulent times" should be: "lost to the sirens that call from the turbulent tides. " (pretty obvious especially in the demo version. )
"lost in silence, they bow to the call of the east. " should be: "stand aside as they bow to the call of the beast" (possibly beat or beats, but definitely starts with a "b")
"ears to the ground by the name of the merciless guide (sky)" should be: "ears to the ground by the whim of the merciless sky"

The lyrics are deeply masonic. If not for anything, the "all seeing eye" on the one dollar american bill is evidence enough. There is indeed manipulation and these lyrics are proof of it! Shame though, thought it was an awesome song till i heard the lyrics!

I think it (the main chorus, dunno about the rest) just symbolizes civilization in general, like the name suggests.
The beating of a million drums: music/culture/unification, since drums can be associated with simple music, cultural significance, or unifying people like in a march.
The fire of a million guns: war, because what else would guns symbolize?
The mother of a million sons: the very concept of civilization is what allows there to be millions born who coexist and work together. It's the "mother of a million sons".

The music is directly related to the crusades ... Jesuzalem was east of europe, so this explains the strong reference to the "east".
"the call from the turbulent times" => related to the belic crysis of that time.
"bound by the science that lives on the lips of the wise. " => usually the clergy had all the knowledge and flexed the idea that it was a call of the "wiser. " the cruzader soldiers and kings should only respond or they would go to hell.
"merciless guide" => catholic church
The chorus simplifies the ironic idea that responding to a call and kill in the name of a deity is a sign of "civilization"
"onto the fire that burns in the all seeing eye. " => all the killing in the name of god

The all seeing eye could also be a reffernance to the government montoring everything we do and it burns (it continues to thrive) as long as we generate income. The demons could be a refferance to all the corruption im the wold i.e. Alcohol, gambling, smoking etc. "lost in the silence, the call from the turbulant times" and referances of the "east" could be talking about the cold war and the differnce of life in the western society and the eastern society. Not everythig has to be related back to the illuminati and the devil.
