because of lies
Tonight i'm sitting
In the stillness of my room
And i see the starlight
As i'm watching the rising of the moon
And i wonder why
Our world is running headlong to its doom
This is paradise
And the world is running headlong to its doom
And i hear their cries
And now i realize
It's because of lies
The things they told you
Lies
The way they scold you
Lies
How they control you
Lies
It's how they hold you
Once upon a time
They built a huge pirate pyramid
Dedicated to the proposition
Of survival of the fittest
And everybody was thrown it
It was a game
And the people liked to play
Their little games
So they all tried to win it
That's what they were told
And everybody who played it lost
Except for the ones
Who sold the tickets
And told the Lies
Lies
That there was never enough to go around
Lies
That you have to struggle for survival
And even a piece of ground
Why did they say
You were created by Our Father
When they never treated you
Like you were Children of the King
Death
Is the greatest lie of them all
All the suffering in the world
Comes from one lie or another
And the lies that make you suffer
Make you hate to live this life
You feel like you want to die
When you hate this life
And so who wins
The king of death
The biggest lie
Gossip and rumors
Lies
Spawning illusion
Lies
The great intrusion
Lies
They breed confusion
It's not that you lied to me
It's that you lied to yourself
It's not that you lied to me
It's that you lied to yourself
What lie did they tell you
To break your heart today
What lie did they tell you
To break your heart today
You know your heart will surely find a way
Out of the lies
That you were nothing
Lies That they were something
Lies
How you were rated
Lies
How you were hated
Lies
If they can't employ you
Lies
Try to destroy you
Lies
Your crown of thorns
Lies
You must break their rule today
In the stillness of my room
And i see the starlight
As i'm watching the rising of the moon
And i wonder why
Our world is running headlong to its doom
This is paradise
And the world is running headlong to its doom
And i hear their cries
And now i realize
It's because of lies
The things they told you
Lies
The way they scold you
Lies
How they control you
Lies
It's how they hold you
