Lotus Eaters lyrics

Behold the grey men, wicked welcomes painted thick
They lay you down to spread your colours out to see
Still smiling wide while they wear your toils as their own
Then when the bulbs are burnt they'll find another ride

Pose for the congregation
Raise both your hands
These teeth of pearly white
Hide a silver tongue

Repeat the script before you
Show us that righteous fury
Cardinals and lotus eaters
Fake tеars and empty grace

Behind thе mask there's really not much to be seen
Just hollow parasites and manufactured sympathy
They lead the blind, always hungering for more
Trading your pain for numbers, full of useless promises

Pose for the congregation
Raise both your hands
These teeth of pearly white
Hide a silver tongue

Repeat the script before you
Show us that righteous fury
Cardinals and lotus eaters
Fake tears and empty grace
Fuck the paladins
Fuck this crusade
Fuck your theatre
No one's a true believer

Fuck the paladins
Fuck this crusade
Fuck your theatre
No one's a true believer

Just cardinals
And lotus eaters
Fake tears and empty grace

Pose for the congregation
Raise both your hands
These teeth of pearly white
Hide a silver tongue

Repeat the script before you
Show us that righteous fury
Cardinals and lotus eaters
Fake tears and empty grace

Pose, smile, raise your hands
Show us your righteous fury
Pose, smile, raise your hands
Show us your righteous fury
