Beneath - Lies of the Dead lyrics

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 Simple words loaded with dread Bereft of comfort, compelling restraints To be obeyed as law Inscribed by hateful imposters Striving to remain in control All this grief built on The lies of the dead All these words just Lies of the dead
