Lyrics

Lie

Couldn't you let it lie?

With a smile and subterfuge

You dance your savage dance

Some hidden cause you cannot justify

A lie's a lie

Couldn't you let it lie?

Couldn't you let it lie?

Conscience clear and sanctified

You wash your sins away

In God's name you start your holy war

Who's it for?

Couldn't you let it lie?

Couldn't you let it lie?

Couldn't you let it lie?

Couldn't you let it lie?

Couldn't you let it lie?

Couldn't you let it lie?

Couldn't you let it lie?
