Subterfuge Lyrics - Singles - Barnabas

Survival is not guaranteed in strange, tumultuous times 

When the quest of our humanity strays from the narrow line 

The cause of world insanities rests deeply on the few 

Whose self-inflicted vanities require your servitude 

In days of lies and subterfuge are times most opportune 

To drain the living aptitude from those who feel entombed 

A species cannot tolerate predation from within 

With power indiscriminate and lack of discipline 

So with the captains of these mighty nations awash in a sea of blind mistrust 

The man on the street receives information designed to conceal the obvious 

Throughout this madness, an offer of true and lasting peace 

To soldier and philosopher, demoniac and priest 

And when the curtain falls around us in megaton torment 

Because the kings of men have failed again in obscene impudence 

It will only be the ending of a strange, tumultuous dream 

For those who've found the Saviour, waiting and willing
