Lords Of The New Church Lyrics - Singles - Archer Tasmin

here's the man whose voice speaks for everyone 

and whose actions touch the lives of us all 

he rose with energy and style 

shake my hand, kiss my child 

sway us all with your smile 

he readily accepts acclaim 

but soon forgets that he came 

from the back streets like them 

so we pray to the east 

we pray to the west 

and we see the gods of the new church 

as they undertake their vow 

tell me who can save us now? 

save us from the lords of the new church 

don't say no 

here's the man some believe is a visionary 

here's the man who is driven by greed 

he made a fortune overnight 

in a deal that he knew 

was too good to be true 

as he bends the rules of play 

becomes obsessed with the game 

has to go all the way 

they feast and they fly 

while we pay the real price 

but what price do we place on life?
