Archaic tales handed down for centuries
Simple words loaded with dread
Bereft of comfort, compelling restrains
To be obeyed as law
Inscribed by hateful imposters
Striving to remain in control
Oppressing those that follow them
Bind them to their mandate
Lies of the Dead
Used for subjugation instead of wisdom
Foundations built in blood
The meaning no longer relevant
As long as all comply
Bloody wars fought over simple words
Civilizations laid to waste
Those that look for different paths
Exiled and forsaken
All this grief built on
The lies of the dead
All those words just
Lies of the dead
Still used to oppress
The flock kept under control
Trying to save the souls
Of the ones who are lost
Politicians their modern warlords
In their neverending war
The truth behind their lies
Those worthless souls will never be saved by those empty words
Archaic tales handed down for centuries

To be obeyed as law

The lies of the dead
All these words just
Lies of the dead
