Absolon - Pretender

Pretender


vs 1:
do you feel you’ve lost control,
of your future?
do you simply play the role,
of pretender?
is out of sight, out of mind,
satisfy you?
are you running out of time,
what can one do?

refrain:
you see it.
you feel it.
time fleeting,
retreating.

vs 2:
is there nothing left to give,
have you surrendered?
no more reasons left to live,
you’ve given in.
has your world come crashing down,
all around you?
no more tears, bring in the clowns,
to sounds of laughter.

chorus:
this life is just illusion
i’ve given blind devotion
the master’s tool of destruction.
he gave to me this promise
success and everything that comes (with it),
now there’s no turning back.

[song ends abruptly then the sounds of a massive crowd stomping their feet and chanting blackheart]
