Be LIE ve

peto

There's a lie in the midst of what I should believe 

Forget all the mechanics required to conceive 

A zombie comes to life for a few days reprieve 

Poke a finger through his holy hand

 

Ah I can't all this magic belongs in the past 

If it's true we should meet where the dragons have massed

All the best stories told have been written to last 

Hope will always find constant demand 

 

It is taught in the temples discussed at the bar

Stitched up sinners are proudly displaying a scar

I'm as wise as the three said to follow a star

Through a desert with nothing but sand

 

Even so there are times when I send out a plea

To whatever is out there more powerful than me

I've looked long into darkness when squinting to see

Past the pound euro dollar and rand

 

Once again in our paradise war's on the brink 

By religious fanatics refusing to think 

Treat yourself to a meal pour another stiff drink 

Drift away back to fairytale land
