Brainwashed - Iced Earth

And so we begin with another sun

The earth’s enslaved with hypocrites

They lay their heads to rest at night

Say a little prayer and all is right

Christ it’s nothing personal

You’ve got to see

They twist and turn your words

For their own needs

They’re brainwashed puppets

The almighty crutch

Cowards of reality

And their dying love

Living life in total lies

Judging others

Believe that I say or burn in hell

Bow down your head

You won’t feel so bad

Do as I say or burn in hell

Close your eyes, look deep inside

Master of the ignorant

Master of the lies

Judgment day is close at hand

Generate that blasphemy

Master of the damned

Lies

Now behind your reflection

Lies the one who knows the truth

Your conscience will condemn you

On judgment day you’ll lose

It seems very odd to me

How you sin and feel so free

And all you have to do is say

Forgive me … I believe

Lies, foolish lies

Behind your brainwashed eyes

Lies, foolish lies

Behind your brainwashed eyes

Judge me not my shallow friend

Lest ye be judged yourself

You abuse the words you preach

You mold them for yourself

Brainwashed hypocrisy

Justifies the life you lead

Forgive me father I have sinned

Lay my head to rest again

Living life in total lies

Judging others

Believe what I say or burn in hell

Trust in me, say yes I believe

Do it now or burn in hell
