lyrics

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.
