A Spectacle of Lies

Sell them lies, sell them hope
 sell them what you know they long for
 confuse, dilute, and warp perception
 make them think they want it all and more
 sell them glory, sell them pride
 sell them all that's far from reach
 suck them in with smoke and mirrors
 make them think it's what they need
 engeneers of deceit, planting all their seeds
 artful in their craft, painting usright into their corner
 preying on the ameless, preying on the naive
 pray that we survive, all the poison we've been fed
 inventing the problem
 naming the enemy
 creating the conflict
 the greatest deception
 it's to make them belive
 there is no deception
 this foul machine
 cloaked in our ignorance
 propagation
 of hatred and war
 sold on lies, sold on hope
 so grand is this dark charde
 the only prize is blood and death
 running wildly fighting shadows
