Behind the lies

How some people turn religion into the devils words!?!

 

Behind the lies

 

They come to you as a friend

Asking to join them in their holy end

Smiling faces holding your hand

Wicked plans for this land

Brain washed till you're dead

Do you even know what's ahead?

 

Close, open your eyes

See right through their smiles

You are just one of their tools

To fulfill their wicked goals

Close, open your eyes

See right through their lies

Just a spectacle of colors

Holding the worst of shadows

 

Here you are holding an AK forty seven

Thinking you would end up in heaven

Why don’t you try to think for a moment?

If heaven burns under their feet

How do you go killing people on the street?

 

Close, open your eyes

See right through their smiles

You are just one of their tools

To fulfill their wicked goals

Close, open your eyes

See right through their lies

Just a spectacle of colors

Holding the worst of shadows

 

Now they are planting bombs on you

Next thing they will tell you what to do

With a smile they look at you driving into your dome

They open your eyes to the wrong within this world

Flashing lights to blind you from the evil they hold instead

 

"A mother holding her son"

"There's no evil how far you turn the sun"

"Another buying a gift for his brother"

"There's no sin in this place or any another"

 

Like a spider spinning their deadly webs

Infecting you with poison in your veins

Like cancer it spreads in the weakest of brains

Infecting your thoughts with evil that walks

 

"A child playing with a ball"

"There's no evil in his soul"

"A daughter drawing her fathers face"

"For gods sake there's no sin in this place"

 

Like a spider spinning their deadly webs

Infecting you with poison in your veins

Like cancer it spreads in the weakest of brains

Infecting your thoughts with evil that walks

…

…

Close, open your eyes

See right through their smiles

You are just one of their tools

To fulfill their wicked goals

Close, open your eyes

See right through their lies

Just a spectacle of colors

Holding the worst of shadows

 

Close, open

Close, open

Close, open your eyes
