The System
Why have we let this happen?
Why didn’t we see the signs?
They told us in the bible
Oh so many times.
Imposters all around us
Playing with the mind,
Thinking they can profit
And deceive mankind.
I say we need the real thing
Not what they deliver,
They don’t have all the answers
Stole words from a forgiver.
I never thought I’d see the day
That it would come to this,
I gave the world more credit
To want to restore bliss.
There’s nothing left that I can do
You chose this awful path,
I hope that you don’t come unstuck
The peace you’ve found won’t last.
Once they have said what they have stole
The words will all run dry,
And that is when you’ll realise
All that’s left to do is cry.
Stop them using false names,
Stop them playing games,
Stop them stealing life itself
And see the real Queen reigns.
