Pretender

Ahh, ahh, ahh Lead me to the oceans white sands Ahh, ahh, ahh Where I can catch myself Ahh, ahh, ahh Let the water cool and soothe me Ahh, ahh, ahh A steady rhythm flows I cannot deny it's holy I know who you are I can feel You know me Send your pretender A man divine his power Who dares judge or question His words scripted by liars Gross intervention Proclaims their one desire Distorting the facts Ancient voices tired Ahh, ahh, ahh Forgotten words from long ago Ahh, ahh, ahh Speak volumes to me now Ahh, ahh, ahh Plagiarism is our truth Ahh, ahh, ahh Allegiance to a hoax So these chosen few are holy Perpetuate fear Til the guilt consumes me Send your Pretender Designed for one Empire Erase the offenders Persecuted fires They will not answer For wars which they inspired And those who surrender Their voices growing tired Shaped Each one of us Shadows of the Third century Our fate A fatal error Created our Tragic history Buried message The writings of truth Religions challenged There not amused Transformed vision This truth recognized No further deception Their pious position Send your Pretender Designed for one Empire Erase the offenders Persecuted fires Who dares judge or question These words scripted by liars They will not answer For wars which they inspired Parallels Understanding The message is clear Fanned into full flame Ideology Beliefs in a system Unlike philosophy The failure to listen --- Pretender - James LaBrie
