Barnabas Subterfuge Lyrics

Subterfuge Lyrics

Survival is not guaranteed in strange, tumultuous times

 When the quest of our humanity strays from the narrow line

 The cause of world insanities rests deeply on the few

 Whose self-inflicted vanities require your servitude

 

 In days of lies and subterfuge are times most opportune

 To drain the living aptitude from those who feel entombed 

 A species cannot tolerate predation from within

 With power indiscriminate and lack of discipline

 

 So with the captains of these mighty nations awash in a sea of blind
mistrust

 The man on the street receives information designed to conceal the obvious

 Throughout this madness, an offer of true and lasting peace

 To soldier and philosopher, demoniac and priest

 

 And when the curtain falls around us in megaton torment

 Because the kings of men have failed again in obscene impudence

 It will only be the ending of a strange, tumultuous dream

 For those who've found the Saviour, waiting and willing
