Book of Lies Lyrics by Engel

Abandon All Hope

2018

[Verse 1]
I see your deeds
Your action speaks to me
You try to hide yourself
Behind a mask of honesty
You're in control
You deal out all the cards
Your face is straight as you pretend
And tell your lies to me
I try to leave
I try to walk away
I want to disappear
And never see your face again
It's just a game
It's just a TV show
It's just a contract that you sign
With your engraved ballpen
[Chorus 1]
How can we meet in peace?
How can we hear each other's cries?
How can we breathe the same air?
When you believe a book of lies
[Verse 2]
You close your eyes
You block the pain right out
You turn your back
On all the suffering surrounding you
It makes you blind
It makes you deaf and dumb
It makes you trust in men
Who say they know much more than you
What will it read
The stone to mark your grave?
What wisdom will you pass
To generations yet to come?
What will you say?
What will you tell them all?
"Just put your faith in God
And storybook authority"?
[Chorus 1]
How can we meet in peace?
How can we hear each other's cries?
How can we breathe the same air?
When you believe a book of lies
[Chorus 2]
How do you sleep at night?
How can you look me in the eyes?
Can you tell wrong from right?
When you believe a book of lies
[Instrumental]
[Chorus 1]
How can we meet in peace?
How can we hear each other's cries?
How can we breathe the same air?
When you believe a book of lies
[Chorus 2]
How do you sleep at night?
How can you look me in the eyes?
Can you tell wrong from right?
When you believe a book of lies
[Outro]
The book of lies
When you believe the book of lies
