The Influence Of False Pretense

While passing judgment reigns
And this face is not our own
The evidence is on display

And I fear its treason now
Betrayed by these teachers revered now
Who claim to love us
Yes, love us the most

Guilty by association
Can I lay this down, go underground?
Please show me the destination
Where deception falls, the truth still calls by name
Truth still calls, calls by name

Ascend to a throne
They've raised on empty vows
Held against the smallest debt

And this tainted glory found
Can't wash all the blood
From their hands now
This blood they've hidden
Will soon be revealed

Guilty by association
Can I lay this down, go underground?
Please show me the destination
Where deception falls, the truth still calls by name
Calls by name

Now we stand accused, we stand accused
We face the hate
The scorn of those who've been betrayed
Guilty by association

Guilty by association
Can I lay this down, go underground?
Please show me the destination
Where deception falls, the truth still calls by name

Guilty by association
Can I lay this down, go underground?
Please show me the destination
Where deception falls, the truth still calls by name
