"Commander" Lyrics

abandoned straneded at sea
i'm floating on the razor
deprived of reason and hope
my sail was set for failure
there's riddles in the breeze
this current carries questions
there was no land to be seen
just the hand of a stranger

drowning i'm at my nadir
there was no second guessing
he said he was my savior
he pulled me from the manger
he found a vacant bastard naked
filled me up with fervor
he said the time would come soon
i must repay the favor

he said i'd be the commander
he said they're dead wrong
make them listen make them fear it

and all will seek the truth
and they will find it
if the seek the truth within you
then they will get it right
and when you speak the truth
they will deny it
there's only truth within you

so we marched in cadence
for a sadist slaying faithless
till the whole world feared your name
i am your faithful servant
serpants will choose to ignore
i am your holy herder
i'll lead these sheep into war
repay your favor with murder

and all will seek the truth
and you couldn't get it right
you sacrifice
you sacrifice
and all will claim the truth only one will get it right
so close your eyes and you will see it

this temple tumbled over
this kingdom crumbled from under
the thunder slammed upon the damned
we stand in equal wonder
what an ignominious defeat
buried in this hideous deceit
the sadist licks his lips with greed
the final puzzle complete
oh God
oh Lord
we didn't get it right
all lies
all lies
we couldn't see the light
oh God
oh Lord
we didn't get it right
all lies
all lies

stabbed in the back by the savior
there's no such thing as the truth
all lies
all lies
i was not saved i was misled
you should have left us all dead
all lies
all lies
and we'll get it right
and now i'll be the commander
