The Foreseer

I’ve been raised with a blindfold over my eyes

I’ve been denied the right to think with my own mind

I’ve been listening to their nonsense and rhymes

Too young too soon too pretty to say anything right

They say

How do you dare to speak

When you don’t know the words of wisdom from the past?

How do you dare to sing

When you don’t know the melody of life?

How do you dare to think

When ministers lead the holy flock of lambs?

Now do you understand what faith is all about?

Don’t leave me now lost in the dark

There’s a wind that constantly

Throws us all down on our knees

There are nightmares spreading darkness

In our children hearts

There’s a bed of thorns that is waiting for me

Each and every night

They’ve been praising divine ignorance and lies

Clinging to the only hope of salvation in another life

They were telling me that I needed a guide

While they were blind and I was the one to see the light

They say

Now will you listen

To the tiny voice in the corner of your mind?

Now will you pay attention

To what’s written between the lines?

Now do you see the shadow

Patiently waiting for you behind the light?

Now do you understand the truth

Hidden beneath the lies?

Don’t let the blind show you the light

There’s a wind that constantly

Throws us all down on our knees

There are nightmares spreading darkness

In our children hearts

There’s a bed of thorns that is waiting for me

Each and every night

Why don’t you ever listen

To the words of wisdom from my mouth?

Why don’t you ever pay care

About what’s standing out to my own eye?

Why don’t you ever have a doubt

About your old beliefs and silly signs?

Now will you dare to face

The consequences of your lies?

There’s a wind that constantly

Throws us all down on our knees

There are nightmares spreading darkness

In our children hearts

There’s a bed of thorns that is waiting for me

Each and every night
