In The Shadow Of The Lie Lyrics

They stand in line, hearts open wide

Told they're warriors, full of pride

He speaks their rage, a perfect sound

And they cling to each word, profound!

Promises painted in red blue and white

To save the land, to set everything right!

But underneath the shining shit show suicide

They're drifting deeper down below inside!

It's the fear, it's the fire

A voice to lift them higher

It's the dream that feels so close

But fading in the afterglow

He's their savior, he's their guide

Holding truths they can't decide

And in the shadow of the lie

They find the reason...

NEVER ASKING WHY!!!???

He tells them stories, they want to believe...

A world divided, their hearts are on his sleeve!

It's a tale of hope, but sewn tight with dread...

They follow blindly, by his words... THEY ARE LED!!!

A hero's mask, a twisted grin

A dance with power, thick as sin

And yet they march, they chant his name

Ignoring the truth...

DRAWN INTO HIS FLAME!!!

It's the fear, it's the fire

A voice to lift them higher

It's the dream that feels so close

But fading in the afterglow

He's their savior, he's their guide

Holding truths they can't decide

And in the shadow of the lie

They find the reason...

NEVER ASKING WHY!!!???

What is it that binds their minds so tight?

In the deepest dark, they seek his light!!!

Promises of glory and might...

But the weight grows...

HIDDEN FROM SIGHT!!!

Is it fear of change, a world unknown?

A need for strength when they feel alone?

Or a place where they belong...

Where they're told they are strong!

In the arms of the lie...

THEY HAPPILY SING ALONG!!!

It's the fear, it's the fire

A voice to lift them higher

It's the dream that feels so close

But fading in the afterglow

He's their savior, he's their guide

Holding truths they can't decide

And in the shadow of the lie

They find the reason...

NEVER ASKING WHY!!!???

In the shadow, their truth is gone

In the fire, they keep holding on

What leads them there? What's left to see?

In the end...

WHO WILL THEY BE!?

Without Donnie... Daddy???

Without Donnie... Daddy???
