Pretender Lyrics - Singles - James Labrie

Ahh, ahh, ahh 

Lead me to the oceans white sands 

Ahh, ahh, ahh 

Where I can catch myself 

Ahh, ahh, ahh 

Let the water cool and soothe me 

Ahh, ahh, ahh 

A steady rhythm flows 

I cannot deny it's holy 

I know who you are 

I can feel - You know me 

Send your pretender 

A man divine his power 

Who dares judge or question 

His words scripted by liars 

Gross intervention 

Proclaims their one desire 

Distorting the facts 

Ancient voices tired 

Ahh, ahh, ahh 

Forgotten words from long ago 

Ahh, ahh, ahh 

Speak volumes to me now 

Ahh, ahh, ahh 

Plagiarism is our truth 

Ahh, ahh, ahh 

Allegiance to a hoax 

So these chosen few are holy 

Perpetuate fear 

Til the guilt consumes me 

Send your Pretender 

Designed for one Empire 

Erase the offenders 

Persecuted fires 

They will not answer 

For wars which they inspired 

And those who surrender 

Their voices growing tired 

Shaped 

Each one of us 

Shadows of the 

Third century 

Our fate 

A fatal error 

Created our 

Tragic history 

Buried message 

The writings of truth 

Religions challenged 

There not amused 

Transformed vision 

This truth recognized 

No further deception 

Their pious position 

Send your Pretender 

Designed for one Empire 

Erase the offenders 

Persecuted fires 

Who dares judge or question 

These words scripted by liars 

They will not answer 

For wars which they inspired 

Parallels 

Understanding 

The message is clear 

Fanned into full flame 

Ideology 

Beliefs in a system 

Unlike philosophy 

The failure to listen
