Iced Earth - Brainwashed lyrics

And so we begin with another sun The earth's enslaved with hypocrites They lay their heads to rest at night Say a little prayer and all is right Christ it's nothing personal You've got to see They twist and turn your words For their own needs They're brainwashed puppets The almighty crutch Cowards of reality And their dying love Living life in total lies Judging others Believe that I say or burn in hell Bow down your head You won't feel so bad Do as I say or burn in hell Close your eyes, look deep inside Master of the ignorant Master of the lies Judgment day is close at hand Generate that blasphemy Master of the damned Lies Now behind your reflection Lies the one who knows the truth Your conscience will condemn you On judgment day you'll lose It seems very odd to me How you sin and feel so free And all you have to do is say Forgive me ... I believe Lies, foolish lies Behind your brainwashed eyes Lies, foolish lies Behind your brainwashed eyes Judge me not my shallow friend Lest ye be judged yourself You abuse the words you preach You mold them for yourself Brainwashed hypocrisy Justifies the life you lead Forgive me father I have sinned Lay my head to rest again Living life in total lies Judging others Believe what I say or burn in hell Trust in me, say yes I believe Do it now or burn in hell
