From the recording Darkness & Light
Lyrics
[verse 1]
I look out all around me
Can’t help but want to weep
The sinners don’t see no sin no more
And the Saints are all asleep
[pre chorus]
Someone is at war tonight
Another ends it all
A million sick and hungry eyes
In silent screaming call
In the corridors of power
You claim God is on your side
But the wails and groans of dead man’s bones
Are screaming that you lied
[chorus]
Oooh that you lied
Whoa you lied
Oooh that you lied
You still think God is on your side
And yet you lied
Oh and yet you lied
Oh and yet you lied
Maybe it's time to turn the tide
And yet you lied
Yet you lied
Oooh whoa you lied
[bridge]
Liar, liar
Your world’s on fire
Liar, liar
From the power you desired
Liar, liar
You’re devoid of all attire
Liar, liar
And yet you still conspire
[guitar solo]
[verse 2]
Sticks and stones and guns and bombs
And words will always hurt
Love your neighbour as yourself
Do you think we’ll ever learn
[pre chorus]
Someone is at war tonight
Another ends it all
A million sick and hungry eyes
In silent screaming call
In the corridors of power
You claim God is on your side
But the wails and groans of dead man’s bones
Are screaming that you lied
[chorus]
Oooh that you lied
Whoa you lied
Oooh that you lied
You still think God is on your side
And yet you lied
Oh and yet you lied
Oh and yet you lied
Maybe it's time to turn the tide
And yet you lied
Yet you lied
Oooh whoa you lied
[verse 3]
We’re looking for the reason
We’re all crying for release
Foundations built on sandy ground
Will never find you peace
[pre chorus]
Someone is at war tonight
Another ends it all
A million sick and hungry eyes
In silent screaming call
In the corridors of power
You claim God is on your side
But the wails and groans of dead man’s bones
Are screaming that you lied
[chorus]
Oooh that you lied
Whoa you lied
Oooh that you lied
You still think God is on your side
And yet you lied
Oh and yet you lied
Oh and yet you lied
Maybe it's time to turn the tide
And yet you lied
Yet you lied
Oooh whoa you lied
[bridge]
Liar, liar
Your world’s on fire
Liar, liar
From the power you desired
Liar, liar
You’re devoid of all attire
Liar, liar
And yet you still conspire
[outro]
Oooh you lied
What’s it like inside?
Whoa you lied
Who is really on your side?
Oooh you lied
You’re the bridesmaid not the bride
Whoa You lied
It’s not too late to turn the tide
