Empire Of Lies

oh here she comes with fresh new blood
the queen of situations
they tag on to her retinue
like lambs that lie down in the fields

and though her eyes tell you she's tame
just take the word of one she's maimed
don't be deceived by what you see
she's dangerous

he'll bleed into your innocence
his poisonous despair
he'll plough you like an open wound
left writhing in his snare

and though his eyes tell you he's tame
just take the word of one he's maimed
don't be deceived by what you see
he's dangerous

when reason sleeps around your soul
the darkness creeps when reason sleeps
around your soul the darkness creeps

heavy is the load i bear
living with this secret
fool because you broke my trust
fool because i keep it

they say that you can tell they say
the difference is quite discreet
but i have learned to trust my senses
and i can sense a missing taste
a flavour oh so sweet
in all his kisses and embraces

it's just a different way of thinking
an attitude of amazing size
grab a lifeline when you're sinking
in the empire of lies
