lyrics

Before I begin, taking my stand
you should know, that it's Gods's doves that guide me.
or at least that's the plan,
but I'm still just a man, so I'm bound to miss a step or two.

So the benefit of doubt,
would be spared to you now,
if you just had come out clean,
but there's a phrase for those,
who rule without clothes,
and yeah, we can see right through

No matter the lies that you spew,
yeah we, can see right through

Yeah, rules for thee, but not for me, is a tyrants rusty motto.
So forgive me if I, just can't tell my eyes, what they behold has no weight.


Oh, many have died,
and more who have cried,
by the sheer stroke of your pen,
and you can hide behind that painted white smile,
but you're just biding your time.

Cause I believe there's no road,
you could flee to or go, to escape the judgement that haunts you.
So I'll pray for your soul, as you go pay the toll,
to the one who can see right through.

And when you run out of road, cloaked by the night there he'll be offering direction,
to a road paved with seeds, sown by your deeds, and you'll know, just where it leads to.


Yeah, rules for thee, but not for me, is a tyrants rusty motto.
So forgive me if I, just can't tell my eyes, what they behold has no weight.
