Lyrics
The Influence Of False Pretense
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
While passing judgment reigns.
And this face is not your own.
The evidence is on display.
And I fear it's 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.
Truth still calls, 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 there hands now.
This blood they've hidden
Will soon be reveled.
Guilty by association.
Can I lay this down, go underground?
Please show me the destination.
Where deception falls
And truth still calls by name.
Calls by name, calls by name
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 crime they
commit in Your name.
Guilty by association.
Guilty by association.
Can I lay this down, go underground?
Please show me the destination.
Where deception falls
And truth still calls by name.
Guilty by association.
Can I lay this down, go underground?
Please show me the destination.
Where deception falls
And truth still calls by name.
