The lie, the rhetoric, the cruel deceit In mask of benevolence the public meet So wars, for oil, be sanctioned and supported Whilst dictators of the west remain unthwarted In new Baghdad the last king gone But barons maraud with tyrants key While soldiers dumped on streets, help gone Turn to ISIS and pledge “we” Pacifism, love anachronisms Conflicts rage the world around Forging a graveyard of innocent souls And so humanitarianism bears a wound I pray this prison we transcend Put our hearts back on the mend And treat foreigners as a friend And so to brighter day we wend

Empire Of Lies
The lie, the rhetoric, the cruel deceit In mask of benevolence the public meet So wars, for oil, be sanctioned and supported Whilst dictators of the west remain unthwarted In new Baghdad the last king gone But barons maraud with tyrants key While soldiers dumped on streets, help gone Turn to ISIS and pledge “we” Pacifism, love anachronisms Conflicts rage the world around Forging a graveyard of innocent souls And so humanitarianism bears a wound I pray this prison we transcend Put our hearts back on the mend And treat foreigners as a friend And so to brighter day we wend
