lyrics

A powerful kingdom, golden land
First among equals, jewel of the sands
A mighty sultan, ruled for his time
After ten years, his time was up
And when the men came for the crown…

To his evil mind, Came an evil plan
He would tell the soldiers, The boldest of lies

Hear me my children, stay your hand
It’s a conspiracy, I’m the chosen one
You must protect me, don’t let them come
They want our downfall, our city to crack
Tell everybody, carry my word

Their impending doom, only he could stop
Their ancient traditions would no longer stand

Lies, dressed as truth,
For the gain… Of an evil man.
Lies, dressed as truth,
For the sake… Of a devil’s plan.
Lies, dressed as truth,
For the gain… Of an evil man.
Lies, dressed as truth,
For the sake… Of a devil’s plan.

The proclamation, would not take long,
I am the sultan, my word is law,
I heed no peasant, do what I want,
Mine is the power, I am your lord.
But when the news reached far enough…

The wise judges saw, the truth of it all
Just a greedy tyrant, running a crude con

Keepers of law, would not relent
They told the soldiers, dethrone that man
Bound and imprisoned, awaiting the call
In a dark cell, rotting for long
His last parade, in shackles and shame

It would not take long, for the blade to fall
On the neck of another liar dethroned

Lies, dressed as truth,
For the gain… Of an evil man.
Lies, dressed as truth,
For the sake… Of a devil’s plan.
Lies, dressed as truth,
For the gain… Of an evil man.
Lies, dressed as truth,
For the sake… Of a devil’s plan.

Lies, dressed as truth,
For the gain… Of an evil man.
Lies, dressed as truth,
For the sake… Of a devil’s plan.
