The Lying Eyes
I resonate my knowledge
In the minds of the weak
You can call me the Shepard
For I'll awaken the sheep
I always look around
To find who is asleep
I keep my mind eye open
And stay driven in my peak
I despise the quiet eyes
Always telling lies
The malevolent factor
Leading to our demise
Push through the barriers
For we can't compromise
Look around you can spot the trash
From all the maggots and flies
A twisted game
Calling our name
But it's all the same
Never listen to a politician
No matter the fame
It's time to rise
And put them to shame
We can change
But if you don't act
You know who to blame
