What is true power?
To do what you like?
Or just getting others
to do what you want?

Who are the writers?
The sponsors of war?
Will we never know
what the reality was?

Empires built around
the spread of lies
They don't want to see
the truth they must be blind

The emperors and governments
practice the same ritual
Religions and dictators too
in the darkness wear the truth

How many times
does a lie
have to be repeated
to become reality?
There in the heights
laughs the king
beholding his kingdom
A world of unconsciousness

Humanity now
depends on machines
they’re guiding its will
as the pied piper did

When puppeteer
pulls the strings
the lord in the shadow
decides our dreams

Empires built around
the spread of lies
They don't want to see
the truth they must be blind

The emperors and governments
practice the same ritual
Religions and dictators too
in the darkness wear the truth

How many times
does a lie
have to be repeated
to become reality?
There in the heights
laughs the king
beholding his kingdom
A world of unconsciousness

The emperors and governments
practice the same ritual
Religions and dictators too
in the darkness wear the truth

How many times
does a lie
have to be repeated
to become reality?
There in the heights
laughs the king
beholding his kingdom
A world of unconsciousness
