Waving the flags of denial

from De arte moriendi by Toad In Transit

/

lyrics

Hypocrite in white – wisdom by weight of gold
Deny the facts that I can see clearly through you
Among the praying sheep there is the waiting wolf
Denying all the lies of your scholastic throne

Believe me – I will fight against the lies you’ve told me here
Deceive me – I won’t fall to the hordes of thoughtless waste

You’ve cut my wrist open - start the drain
This stigmatized victim – just me to blame
There is no haven – no place to flee
No justified reason left to be
Become divine savior – god in white
Don’t let your own fame out of sight
Your personal guinea pig in wait
With just my hope left as trait

You force me to sign this vow of shit
Led by the lies you’ve fed me with
I cannot deny the fact - I fade
I live in the cage of hype you’ve made

I don’t have trust in you – just myself to blame
The fear of failing at me – there is no piece of shame
You can’t control the lust you feel at my X-ray screen
You are now to decide what kind of saint I’ve been
I feel your venom drop by drop fall into my veins
These are the hours I wish that I had never complained
Beside my crumbling will and pain that holds me down
Oh god, I can’t remember I’ve tried to touch your crown

Misery comes in, drop by drop flush the wisdom in
I feel the devil’s march blistering beneath my skin
My hairs are waste I now know I cannot turn back time
The ferryman’s waiting dows to get his final dime

I can’t breathe, I can’t talk – this can’t be my true reality
Just a dream – I must wake up to face the light of day

Ref:
Nights fly by – days in waste
Can’t you wake me out of this? The dream in denial
Just a noise outside and I’ll be awake
This can’t be real – It’s all just a fake
I wave the flags of denial
