Deception

pure as white
 but black as night
 such skilled entertainers
 for us all
 we who sit and stare
 are we at peace or simply scared
 of all that's not being said
 scared of all ending up dead
 like the one we emulate
 he the one who changed our fate
 yet they use him as the bait
 i know you think it's a made up story
 but it's deception at its best
 i know you think i should leave it all alone
 not this time
 not anymore
 this time something must be done
 have you heard what i said
 it's not their blood that's been shed
 have you heard anything i said
 i know you think i should leave it all alone
 not this time
 not anymore
 this time something must be done
 it seems a fallacy to question
 but they say they'll take suggestions
 what they mean is they'll have a session
 which puts you in their possession
 which leads us back to the insurrection
 as we sit and stare
 are we at peace
 or simply scared of all that's not being said
 have you heard what i said
 are we better off dead
 have you heard anything i've said
 we're better off
 with the saints that went ahead
 your soul
 my soul
 reaching forth
 we need refuge and recourse
 as we kneel and pray to her
 sadness
 repressed
 love returns
 feel the tears run down your face
 as you ponder such a waste
 let the tears well in your eyes
 say a prayer for the lies
 that they offer
 this deception
 we must not falter
