James Labrie - Pretender lyrics

Ahh, ahh, ahh

Lead me to the oceans white sands

Ahh, ahh, ahh

Where I can catch myself

Ahh, ahh, ahh

Let the water cool and soothe me

Ahh, ahh, ahh

A steady rhythm flows

I cannot deny it's holy

I know who you are

I can feel - You know me

Send your pretender

A man divine his power

Who dares judge or question

His words scripted by liars

Gross intervention

Proclaims their one desire

Distorting the facts

Ancient voices tired

Ahh, ahh, ahh

Forgotten words from long ago

Ahh, ahh, ahh

Speak volumes to me now

Ahh, ahh, ahh

Plagiarism is our truth

Ahh, ahh, ahh

Allegiance to a hoax

So these chosen few are holy

Perpetuate fear

Til the guilt consumes me

Send your Pretender

Designed for one Empire

Erase the offenders

Persecuted fires

They will not answer

For wars which they inspired

And those who surrender

Their voices growing tired

Shaped

Each one of us

Shadows of the

Third century

Our fate

A fatal error

Created our

Tragic history

Buried message

The writings of truth

Religions challenged

There not amused

Transformed vision

This truth recognized

No further deception

Their pious position

Send your Pretender

Designed for one Empire

Erase the offenders

Persecuted fires

Who dares judge or question

These words scripted by liars

They will not answer

For wars which they inspired

Parallels

Understanding

The message is clear

Fanned into full flame

Ideology

Beliefs in a system

Unlike philosophy

The failure to listen
