Glaring Eyes

[Intro] In the shadow of their grand facade, I stand alone, unswayed, unawed. Their kingdom built on deceit and lies, But in the darkness, truth shall rise. A haunting melody fills the air, As I declare, I won't despair. For I see through their charade, I see, And in their game, I won't be a pawn, but free. [Verse 1] From the ivory tower, they sit enthroned, A crown of thorns, their power honed. They preach of virtue, of righteousness divine, But their facade of holiness is a thin, frail line. [Pre-Chorus] They wield their scepter with a cold, iron grip, Claiming to guide, but it's control they seek to equip. Their subjects kneel, their prayers rise, But beneath the surface, deception lies. [Chorus] Oh, they claim to be godly, righteous and pure, But I see through their facade, of that I'm sure. Their judgments are cruel, their mercy feigned, In their kingdom of lies, truth is chained. [Verse 2] They cast their decrees from their lofty height, But I refuse to bow, I refuse to take flight. Their manipulation, their twisted game, I see through their charade, it's always the same. [Chorus] Oh, they claim to be godly, righteous and pure, But I see through their facade, of that I'm sure. Their judgments are cruel, their mercy feigned, In their kingdom of lies, truth is chained. [Chorus] Oh, they claim to be godly, righteous and pure, But I see through their facade, of that I'm sure. Their judgments are cruel, their mercy feigned, In their kingdom of lies, truth is chained. [Verse 3] Their subjects tremble, they live in fear, As the ruler's whispers draw near. But I refuse to cower, I refuse to bend, For in their kingdom's downfall, my strength will ascend. I'll stand against their reign of control, With courage burning in my soul. Their holy facade, I'll tear apart, And expose the truth that lies within their heart. [Pre-Chorus] They think they hold sway over my fate, But I won't succumb to their deceitful state. Their power crumbles in the face of truth, For in their lies, I find my sleuth. [Chorus] Oh, they claim to be godly, righteous and pure, But I see through their facade, of that I'm sure. Their judgments are cruel, their mercy feigned, In their kingdom of lies, truth is chained. [Bridge] They may hold dominion over their land, But I'll never surrender to their command. For I see the strings they pull, the game they play, And I'll break free from their grasp, come what may. [Outro] So let them sit on their throne of lies, While I walk away, under open skies. Their rule may reign for a fleeting time, But truth will prevail, and justice will climb.
