"The Lie!"

D. Davies

They stripped away my innocence and left me here to die
In this sad, cold realization, there are no more tears to cry
But I still believe in miracles 'cause that's all I had before
And I ain't gonna take your promises no more.

They stretched the Earth's resources and built a funeral pyre
Through the smoke the children wonder 'neith the stark and shattered sky
There is no hope or reason while the cooperations roar
Disreguarding truth and sacred law.

Can't you see we're living in the lie ?
I believed without a question why
Can't you see we're living in the lie ?
I believe, controlling all we think and see and do.

We're living a lie
We're living a lie.

They'll steal away your brightest dreams, just leaving hollow soles
To wander in this city's grime without a hope or home
The devil plays is final hand, the battle now begins
But no one without true love will ever win.

Can't you see we're living in the lie ?
I believed without a question why
Can't you see we're living in the lie
I believe, controlling all we think and see and do.

Oh can't you see we're living in the lie ?
I believed without a question why
Oh can't you see we're living in the lie ?
I believe, controlling all we see and think and do.

We're living a lie
We're living a lie
We're living a lie.
