Shadows of Influence

The lights are low the crowd’s in trance

A shadow dances where egos prance

Whispers build like a rising tide

Truth gets lost where the lies reside

You follow the face you crave to see

A mirror’s glare of who you could be

The voice you cheer it’s a hollow creed

You feed the beast that shapes your need

Promises fall like shattered glass

Dreams are sold but they never last

A puppet’s strings pulled from behind

Blind devotion a cage for the mind

You follow the face you crave to see

A mirror’s glare of who you could be

The voice you cheer it’s a hollow creed

You feed the beast that shapes your need

A throne of lies built high and wide

The truth won’t sit where the shadows hide

The curtain drops the stage exposed

But the cycle turns the story unfolds

You follow the face you crave to see

A mirror’s glare of who you could be

The voice you cheer it’s a hollow creed

You feed the beast that shapes your need
