The Truth Behind the Lies Never give him power if he can’t get enough Driven by lust, no compassion no love Hungered by wealth, by ego, by fame His place in history with blood upon his name A tongue that can’t be trusted A man that’s rotten through Who will sacrifice all, including me and you Take the power from the man who doesn’t understand How to live the life of the common man. I can see the truth behind the lies I can see it hiding behind your eyes You wat to give an answer but it’s never true Your actions speak louder, they’re the living truth I can see the answer, I can see the truth Your misdemeanours are the living proof I know it feels so good I know I know it’s got to end in blood I know the truth behind the lies I know I know everybody lives & dies I’ve gotta see the fear, gotta feel gotta fear it I’ve gotta see the fear, gotta feel gotta fear it I’ve gotta see the fear, gotta feel gotta fear it I know, I know why it feels so good I see the world all drenched in blood I see the evil that men, live & do I see the rights & wrong in the likes of you Likes of you I know I know it feels so good I know I know it feels so true I don’t know why the sun rises, in the morning sky I don’t know I know why we live & die I know I know we have to try.

Mercy 04:14
Mercy I’m living in a world where I can’t see the light Everyday feels like a long dark night I’m reaching for the switches but the lights won’t come on I’m looking for an answer but it’s all come undone Mercy, have mercy on me I’ve got so much to say but the words won’t come out My mouth is open wide and no-one hears me shout The tears are rolling down across my face But nobody, nobody can see my in this whole damn place Mercy, have mercy on me I scream & I shout, still no-one hears I open my eyes, I’m alone in here I keep on feeling this whole worlds pain Over & over, again & again Mercy

Saved The Day I know how it feels, it feels in my reality I know how it looks, how it looks to be free I know what it’s like, it’s like in your theory Of truth I know who to fear, the media keeps telling me I know who to hate, the TV keeps on showing me I know how to stay safe, in this land of justice And peace I know what to think, I hear what you’re saying to me I know what you say should be, that much is plain to see I know what I would like, but when can I see Some proof Insanity, depravity, trusting isn’t easy in this world for me I’m looking for the answers all of the time, Nothing seems sane, it’s all on my mind Lying is so easy, it’s all in your game, it’s driving me crazy, driving me insane Now I need the answers, I can see you I can see you, I can see you I want see, want to hear, want to feel, want it to be real To be real, to be real I know what you want, what it is you want from me Subservient obedience, total dependency I know your game, know what it is you play You break the rules Your game of control, to manipulate reality Your thirst for power, power over all you see Your greed, your malice, Your inhumanity Orwell said it right, right back in 1948 Tell me this week, who is it that we should hate Oceania? Eurasia? Eastasia? Or is it just me

I’m the hammer, I’m the nail I’m the winner, I’m the fail I’m the success, I’m the dream I am everything in-between I’m the effort, I’m the rule I’m the reason, I’m the fool I’m the hope, I’m despair I am everywhere Believe in me I’m the quest, I’m the grail I’m the win, I’m the fail I’m the truth, I’m the lies I’m who lives & who dies And I love & I hate And I watch & I wait And I build, & I destroy This whole world my own toy I laugh & I cry I give up & I try To hold on to what I’ve got It’s not enough I want the lot And I beg & I steal And I prey on what I feel And I give & a take Always on the make Believe in me I’m the hammer, I’m the nail I’m the winner, I’m the fail I’m the success, I’m the dream I am everything in-between I am honest, I’m a fake I am always early, I am late I am there, when I’m here I am brave, I live in fear You know just who I am I just do what I can You know who I am I’m no god I’m just a man A man like you………………………………………………
