From the recording The Hills Will Burn
Featuring Igor Sokolov on vocals
Lyrics
They set fire to this town
Smoke and Mirrors
Voice of the people
Has been taken away
Anyone anywhere, can blindly
Spread their hate
What used to be respected has now changed
Into something to be feared
Take the truth and bend it till it breaks
Now their lies are all you hear
Abandon reason
The facts are right in your face
But you close your eyes
And embrace the hate
Follow the leader
But never stand face to face
With the truth instead
You run away
They set fire to this town
Smoke and mirrors
In the name of justice, it burns down
Smoke and mirrors
The freedom allotted to you, I see
Has been misconstrued
Without consequence, your actions lead
Down a path you can’t undo
And if this is to be the end,
Then our end we soon shall meet
you have let your defenses fall
And the truth, you no longer seek
With so many signs along the way
Each neglected, blinded by your faith
And the truth is now disguised
brought about your own demise
Time to risk it all
Stand and fight or take the fall
Don’t let them dictate what we need
They shape the narrative
Creating chaos at their will
Their lies are all you read
Abandon reason
The facts are right in your face
But you close your eyes
And embrace the hate
Follow the leader
But never stand face to face
With the truth instead
You run away
They set fire to this town
Smoke and mirrors
In the name of justice, burn it down
Smoke and mirrors
