The  Influence  Of  False  Pretense  -  Cry  Of  The  Afflicted

While  passing  judgement  reigns.

And  this  face  is  not  our  own.

The  evidence  is  on  display.

And  I  fear  its  treason  now.

Betrayed  by  these  teachers  revered  now.

Who  claim  to  love  us,  yes  love  us  the  most.

Guilty  by  association.

Can  I  lay  this  down,  go  underground?

Please  show  me  the  destination.

Where  deception  falls  

And  truth  still  calls  by  name.

Ascended  to  a  throne,

They've  raised  on  empty  vows.

Held  against  the  smallest  debt.

And  this  tainted  glory  found.

Can't  wash  all  the  blood

From  their  hands  now.

This  blood  they've  hidden

Will  soon  be  revealed.

Now  we  stand  accused,  we  stand  accused.

We  face  the  hate,  the  scorn  of  those

Who've  been  betrayed.

But  our  hope  is  justice  for  the  crimes  they

Commit  in  your  name.
