[Verse] Once we believed in brighter days Now shadows dance in holy praise He came with promises of gold And whispered tales of days of old [Verse 2] We traded faith for empty dreams In hushed silence we heard his schemes Our hearts now beaten like a drum Blindly we follow till we're numb [Chorus] He speaks in riddles and sweet lies We bought his words and closed our eyes Our souls once pure now led astray In his embrace we lost our way [Bridge] The light we knew now fades to black With every step there's no way back His throne of words a shallow grave For we The lost No one can save [Verse 3] We see the truth but it's too late Our fields of hope a barren state The golden future now a rust Our dreams lie shattered in the dust [Chorus] He speaks in riddles and sweet lies We bought his words and closed our eyes Our souls once pure now led astray In his embrace we lost our way
