[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
C#5             C#5
Send your pretender
  A5        B5
A man divine  his power
    C#5                C#5
Who dares judge or question
    A5            B5
His words scripted  by liars
C#5           C#5
Gross intervention
   A5              B5
Proclaims their one  desire
   C#5              C#5
Distorting the facts
A5         B5       C#5
Ancient voices tired

[Verse 2]
---------------------
C#5
   Ahh, ahh, ahh
   C#5         E5    B5     C#5

Ahh, ahh, ahh
      C#5       E5  B5   C#5
Speak volumes to  me  now
Ahh, ahh, ahh
C#5     E5 B5 C#5
Plagiarism      is our truth
Ahh, ahh, ahh
   C#5       E5 B5  B5
Allegiance to  a  hoax
B5                C#5     C#5 E5 B5
  So these chosen few are holy
B5 B5           A5
     Perpetuate fear
        E5            C#5
Til the guilt consumes   me

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
C#5             A5
Send your Pretender
  B5            C#5
Designed for one   Empire
 C#5           A5
Erase the offenders
B5     C#5
Persecuted fires
C#5              A5
They will not answer
    B5              C#5
For wars which they inspired
    C#5             A5
And those who surrender
      B5        C#5       C#5
Their voices growing tired

Ideology

The failure to listen
